Materialism prevails in Europe today. You may pray for the salvation of the modern sceptics, but they do not yield, they want reason.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Watch people do their most common actions these are indeed the things that will tell you the real character of a great person.
Swami Vivekananda
If money help a man to do good to others, it is of some value but if not, it is simply a mass of evil, and the sooner it is got rid of, the better.
Swami Vivekananda
Bodies come and go, but the soul does not change.
Swami Vivekananda
All power is His and within His command.
Swami Vivekananda
Jnana teaches that the world should be given up, but not on that account to be abandoned. To be in the world but not of it-is the true test of the sannyasin.
Swami Vivekananda
Consciously or unconsciously, health can be transmitted. A very strong man, living with a weak man, will make him a little stronger, whether he knows it or not.
Swami Vivekananda
Let us not depend upon the world for pleasure.
Swami Vivekananda
Christ said, I and my father are one, and you repeat it. Yet it has not helped mankind. For nineteen hundred years men have not understood that saying. They make Christ the saviour of men. He is God and we are worms!
Swami Vivekananda
You yourself are to blame. This weeping and wailing and knocking your heads into corners [against brick walls, as it were] will not do you the least good.
Swami Vivekananda
According to us, there are three things in the makeup of man. There is the body, there is the mind, and there is the soul.
Swami Vivekananda
There is another way in which this idea of mercy and selfless charity can be put into practice that is, by looking upon work as worship in case we believe in a Personal God. Here we give up all the fruits our work unto the Lord, and worshipping Him thus, we have no right to expect anything from man kind for the work we do.
Swami Vivekananda
Meditation is the means of unification of the subject and object. Meditate.
Swami Vivekananda
Man's free agency is not of the mind, for that is bound. There is no freedom there.
Swami Vivekananda
True religion comes not front the teaching of men or the reading of books it is the awakening of the spirit within us, consequent upon pure and heroic action.
Swami Vivekananda
Anything that is in space has form. Space itself has form. Either you are in space, or space is in you. The soul is beyond all space. Space is in the soul, not the soul in space.
Swami Vivekananda
The power of meditation gets us everything. If you want to get power over nature, [you can have it through meditation]. It is through the power of meditation all scientific facts are discovered today. They study the subject and forget everything, their own identity and everything, and then the great fact comes like a flash.
Swami Vivekananda
Friends or foes, they are all instruments in Her hands to help us work out our own karma, through pleasure or pain. As such, 'Mother' bless all.
Swami Vivekananda
In Shankaracharya we saw tremendous intellectual power, throwing the scorching light of reason upon everything.
Swami Vivekananda
First get rid of the delusion I am the body, then only will we want real knowledge.
Swami Vivekananda
Highest love for God can never be achieved without renunciation.
Swami Vivekananda
