He whose book of the heart has been opened needs no other books.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
There is no chance for the welfare of the world unless the condition of woman is improved. It is not possible for a bird to fly on only one wing. There is no hope for that family or country where there is no estimation of women, where they live in sadness. For this reason, they have to be raised first.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
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

To the person who desires nothing and does not get entangled in desires, the manifold changes of nature are one panorama of beauty and sublimity.
Swami Vivekananda
Image

I am in every religion as the thread through a string of pearls. Wherever thou seest extraordinary holiness and extraordinary power raising and purifying humanity, know thou that I am there.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Each nation has an identity and destiny. As far as Bharat is concerned, Hindu is its identity and religion is its way of working
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Those reformers who preach against image-worship, or what they denounce as idolatry - to them I say Brothers, if you are fit to worship God-without-form discarding all external help, do so, but why do you condemn others who cannot do the same?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
To devote your life to the good of all and to the happiness of all is religion. Whatever you do for your own sake is not religion.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Out of Mahat comes universal egoism.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Ignorance is death, knowledge is life. Life is of very little value, if it is a life in the dark, groping through ignorance and misery.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The atom cannot disobey the law. Whether it is the mental or the physical atom, it must obey the law. What is the use of [external restraint]?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
God is the ever active providence, by whose power systems after systems are being evolved out of chaos, made to run for a time and again destroyed.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We are the makers of our own lives. There is no such thing as fate. Our lives are the result of our previous actions, our karma, and it naturally flows that, having been ourselves the makers of our karma, we must also be able to unmake it.

You yourselves are the Being you are seeking.
