What can be my highest idea of forgiveness? Nothing beyond myself. Which of you can jump out of your own bodies? Which of you can jump out of your own minds? Not one of you.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
A tremendous stream is flowing toward the ocean, carrying us all along with it and though like straws and scraps of paper we may at times float aimlessly about, in the long run we are sure to join the Ocean of Life and Bliss.
Swami Vivekananda
Unselfishness is God. One may live on a throne, in a golden palace, and be perfectly unselfish and then he is in God. Another may live in a hut and wear rags, and have nothing in the world yet, if he is selfish, he is intensely merged in the world.
Swami Vivekananda
It is impossible to think about the welfare of the world unless the condition of women is improved. It is impossible for a bird to fly on only one wing.
Swami Vivekananda
Have faith that you are all, my brave lads, born to do great things! Let not the barks of puppies frighten you, no, not even the thunderbolts of heaven, but stand up and work!
Swami Vivekananda
There is no other teacher but your own soul.
Swami Vivekananda
Each one of us reaps what we ourselves have sown. These miseries under which we suffer, these bondages under which we struggle, have been caused by ourselves, and none else in the universe is to blame. God is the least to blame for it.
Swami Vivekananda
To see God is the one goal. Power is not the goal.
Swami Vivekananda
Every atom is working and resisting every thought in the mind. Everything we see and know is but the resultant of these two forces.
Swami Vivekananda
Go and preach to all, 'Arise, awake, sleep no more: within each of you there is the power to remove all wants and all miseries. Believe this, and that power will be manifested.
Swami Vivekananda
Why is it that we three hundred and thirty millions of people have been ruled for the last one thousand years by any and every handful of foreigners who chose to walk over our prostrate bodies? Because they had faith in themselves and we had not.
Swami Vivekananda
This caste system had grown by the practice of the son always following the business of the father.
Swami Vivekananda
I am teaching you now about it, but how many of you will practice it?
Swami Vivekananda
Today the West is awakening to its wants and the true self of man and spirit is the watchword of the advanced school of Western theologians. The student of Sanskrit philosophy knows where the wind is blowing from, but it matters not whence the power comes so longs as it brings new life.
Swami Vivekananda
Do one thing at a Time, and while doing it put your whole Soul into it to the exclusion of all else.
Swami Vivekananda
All motion in this universe is in the form of waves, successively rising and falling.
Swami Vivekananda
The ego of man and woman is the soul. If the soul is independent, how then can it be isolated from the infinite whole?
Swami Vivekananda
If you dare declare that you are free, free you are this moment. If you say you are bound, bound you will remain.
Swami Vivekananda
God is one the paths to reach him (religions) are many - just as different rivers, originating in different mountains, traverse different paths, flowing straight or crooked, and at last join the ocean. He is the one Lord of all, the one Soul of all souls.
Swami Vivekananda
Do you think there is any other means of achieving progress except through Rajas?
Swami Vivekananda
The Absolute God of the universe, the creator, preserver, and destroyer of the universe, is impersonal principle.
Swami Vivekananda
