More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Even the least work done for others awakens the power within.
Swami Vivekananda
Happiness presents itself to man, wearing the crown of sorrow on its head. He who welcomes it must also welcome sorrow.
Swami Vivekananda
Great occasions rouse even the lowest of human beings to some kind of greatness, but he alone is the really great man whose character is great always, the same wherever he be.
Swami Vivekananda
Liberty is the first condition of growth. It is wrong, a thousand times wrong, if any of you dares to say, 'I will work out the salvation of this woman or child.
Swami Vivekananda
This is a great fact: strength is life weakness is death. Strength is felicity, life eternal, immortal weakness is constant strain and misery, weakness is death.
Swami Vivekananda
Be grateful that the poor man is there, so that by making a gift to him you are able to help yourself
Swami Vivekananda
Differentiation is in name and form only.
Swami Vivekananda
If there's a God, we must see him and if there's a soul we must perceive it. Otherwise, it's better not to believe.
Swami Vivekananda
Man is the product of two forces, action and reaction, which make him think.
Swami Vivekananda
Say to your own minds, I am He, I am He. Let it ring day and night in your minds like a song, and at the point of death declare : I am He. That is truth the infinite strength of the world is yours.
Swami Vivekananda
Not believing in the glory of our own soul is what the Vedanta calls atheism.
Swami Vivekananda
I fervently wish no misery ever came near anyone yet it is that alone that gives us an insight into the depths of our lives, does it not? In our moments of anguish, gates barred forever seem to open and let in many a flood of light.
Swami Vivekananda
In this external world, which is full of finite things, it is impossible to see and find the Infinite. The Infinite must be sought in that alone which is infinite, and the only thing infinite about us is that which is within us, our own soul. Neither the body, nor the mind, nor even our thoughts, nor the world we see around us, is infinite.
Swami Vivekananda
Every Hindu knows that astrologers try to fix the caste of every boy or girl as soon as he or she is born. That is the real caste - the individuality, and Jyotisha (astrology) recognises that. And we can only rise by giving it full sway again. This variety does not mean inequality, nor any special privilege.
Swami Vivekananda
Hold to the idea, I am not the mind, I see that I am thinking, I am watching my mind act, and each day the identification of yourself with thoughts and feelings will grow less, until at last you can entirely separate yourself from the mind and actually know it to be apart from yourself.
Swami Vivekananda
This, I have seen in life - those who are overcautious about themselves fall into dangers at every step. Those who are afraid of losing honor and respect, get only disgrace and those who are always afraid of loss, always lose.
Swami Vivekananda
Never talk about the faults of others, no matter how bad they may be. Nothing is ever gained by that. You never help one by talking about his fault you do him an injury, and injure yourself as well.
Swami Vivekananda
Say, I can do everything . Even if poison of a snake is powerless if you can firmly deny it.
Swami Vivekananda
Have fire and spread all over. Work, work. Be the servant while leading, be unselfish, and never listen to one friend in private accusing another. Have infinite patience, and success is yours.
Swami Vivekananda
The only way to study the mind is to get at facts, and then intellect will arrange them and deduce the principles.
