A wave in the ocean is a wave, only in so far as it is bound by name and form.
Swami Vivekananda

If you really want the good of others, the whole universe may stand against you and cannot hurt you. It must crumble before your power of the Lord Himself in you if you are sincere and really unselfish.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Let each one of us pray day and night for the downtrodden millions who are held fast by poverty, priestcraft, and tyranny. Pray day and night for them. I care more to preach religion to them than to the high and the rich.
Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda
Image
This faith in themselves was in the hearts of our ancestors, this faith in themselves was the motive power that pushed them forward and forward in the march of civilisation, and if there has been degeneration, if there has been defect, mark my words, you will find that degeneration to have started on the day our people lost faith in themselves.
Swami Vivekananda

Charity is great, but the moment you say it is all, you run the risk of running into materialism.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Knowledge can only be got in one way, the way of experience there is no other way to know.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Good and evil thoughts are each a potent power, and they fill the universe.
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
Image
The real work is in the practice.
Swami Vivekananda

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.
