We want to know in order to make ourselves free. That is our life: one universal cry for freedom.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Law is death. The more of the law in a country, the worse for the country.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I love my nation, I cannot see you degraded, weakened any more than you are now. Therefore I am bound for your sake and for truth's to cry, Hold! and to raise my voice against this degradation of my race. Give up these weakening mysticism and be strong.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
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
Image
Ignorance is death, Knowledge is life.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
In the primal state before any manifestation, when there was no motion but perfect balance, this Prakriti was indestructible, because decomposition or death comes from instability or change.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The more opposition there is, the better. Does a river acquire velocity unless there is resistance? The newer and better a thing is, the more opposition I will meet with at the outset. It is opposition which foretells success. Where there is no opposition there is no success either.
Swami Vivekananda

Where you find the attraction for lust and wealth considerably diminished, to whatever creed he may belong, know that his inner spirit is awakening.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
To give up the world is to forget the ego, to know it not at all - living in the body, but not of it.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We want to worship a living God. I have not seen anything but God all my life, nor have you... He is everywhere, saying, I am. The moment you feel I am, you are conscious of Existence. Where shall we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Something cannot be made out of nothing. Nor can something be made to go back to nothing.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Is it freedom to be a slave to the senses, to anger, to jealousies and a hundred other petty things that must occur every day in human life?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
This little separate self must die. Then we shall find that we are in the Real, and that Real is God, and He is our own true nature, and He is always in us and with us. Let us live in Him and stand in Him. It is the only joyful state of existence. Life on the plane of the Spirit is the only life, and let us all try to attain to this realization.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Do not hate anybody, because that hatred which comes out from you must, in the long run, come back to you. If you love, that love will come back to you, completing the circle.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
You nourish your minds by reading books. There is no good in doing that unless you hold it also as a sacrifice to the whole world. For the whole world is one you are rated a very insignificant part of it, and therefore it is right for you that you should serve your millions of brothers rather than aggrandise this little self

Eka-Nishtha or devotion to one ideal is absolutely necessary for the beginner in the practice of religious devotion.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
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
Image
Yes, the words of the Mother can be heard as clearly as we hear one another. But one requires a fine nerve to hear Mother's words.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Whose meditation is real and effective? Who can really surrender to the will of God? Only the person whose mind has been purified by selfless work.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
He who conquers self conquers all.
