More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
If you think about disaster, you will get it. Brood about death and you hasten your demise. Think positively and masterfully, with confidence and faith, and life becomes more secure, more fraught with action, richer in achievement and experience.
Swami Vivekananda
Salvation never will come through hope of reward.
Swami Vivekananda
The power of purity-it is a definite power.
Swami Vivekananda
Think day and night, I am of the essence of that Supreme Existence, Knowledge, Bliss-what fear and anxiety have I? This body, mind, and intellect are all transient, and That which is beyond these is myself.
Swami Vivekananda
Where God is, there is no other. Where world is, there is no God. These two will never unite. Like light and darkness.
Swami Vivekananda
I have long given up the idea of a little house on the Ganges, as I have not the money.
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
The Hindus have to learn a little bit of materialism from the West and teach them a little bit of spirituality.
Swami Vivekananda
All change is in the screen.
Swami Vivekananda
Every one wants to command, and no one wants to obey and this is owing to the absence of that wonderful brahmacharya system of yore. First, learn to obey. The command will come by itself. Always first learn to be a servant, and then you will be fit to be a master.
Swami Vivekananda
Those who are acquainted with the literature of India will remember a beautiful old story about this extreme charity, how a whole family, as related in the Mahâbhârata, starved themselves to death and gave their last meal to a beggar. This is not an exaggeration, for such things still happen.
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
Arise! Awake! and stop not until the goal is reached.
Swami Vivekananda
Holy meditation helps to burn out all mental impurities.
Swami Vivekananda
May the Lord ordain that your son becomes a man, and never a coward!
Swami Vivekananda
It is good to love God for hope of reward, but it is better to love God for love's sake and the prayer goes: O Lord, I do not want wealth nor children nor learning. If it be Thy will, I shall go from birth to birth. But grant me this, that I may love thee without the hope of reward 'love' unselfishly for love's sake.
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
Everything can be sacrificed for truth, but truth cannot be sacrificed for anything.
Swami Vivekananda
The way to God is the opposite to that of the world. And to few, very few, are given to have God and mammon at the same time.
Swami Vivekananda
Calm and silent and steady work, and no newspaper humbug, no name-making, you must always remember.
Swami Vivekananda
