More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
There are the altars, but here is the greatest of altars, the living, conscious human body, and to worship at this altar is far higher than the worship of any dead symbols.
Swami Vivekananda
I have long given up the idea of a little house on the Ganges, as I have not the money.
Swami Vivekananda
Each nation has a main current in life in India it is religion. Make it strong and the waters on either side must move along with it.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion is not an imitation of Jesus or Mohammed. Even if an imitation is good, it is never genuine. Be not an imitation of Jesus, but be Jesus, You are quite as great as Jesus, Buddha, or anybody else. If we are not ... we must struggle and be. I would not be exactly like Jesus. It is unnecessary that I should be born a Jew.
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
You yourselves are the Being you are seeking.
Swami Vivekananda
The ground under the Bilva tree is very holy. Meditating here quickly brings about an awakening of the religious instinct. Shri Ramakrishna used to say so.
Swami Vivekananda
Accumulate power in silence and become a dynamo of spirituality.
Swami Vivekananda
By doing well the duty which is nearest to us, the duty which is in our hands now, we make ourselves stronger and improving our strength in this manner step by step, we may reach a state in which it shall be our privilege to do the most coveted and honored duties in life and in society.
Swami Vivekananda
See how the Ganga flows by and what a nice building! I like this place. This is the ideal kind of place for a Math. (in Belur, West Bengal).
Swami Vivekananda
Principles must conquer in the long run, for that is the manhood of man.
Swami Vivekananda
Let there be as little materialism as possible, with the maximum of spirituality.
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
Everything that we perceive around us is struggling towards freedom, from the atom to the man, from the insentient, lifeless particle of matter to the highest existence on earth, the human soul. The whole universe is in fact the result of this struggle for freedom.
Swami Vivekananda
A changeable God would be no God.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion in India culminates in freedom.
Swami Vivekananda
To succeed, you must have tremendous perserverance... tremendous will. I will drink the ocean, says the perservering soul at my will mountains will crumble. Have that sort of energy, that sort of will work hard, and you will reach the goal.
Swami Vivekananda
You know your real nature [to be divine]. You are the king and play you are a beggar. . . . It is all fun. Know it and play. That is all there is to it. Then practice it. The whole universe is a vast play.
Swami Vivekananda
There is no other teacher but your own soul.
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
