If superstition enters, the brain is gone.
Swami Vivekananda
Dependence is misery. Independence is happiness.
Swami Vivekananda
Christ said, Resist not evil, and we do not understand it until we discover that it is not only moral but actually the best policy, for anger is loss of energy to the man who displays it. You should not allow your minds to come into those brain-combinations of anger and hatred.
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
From Him are all name and form all the animals and men are from Him. He is the one Supreme. He who knows Him becomes free.
Swami Vivekananda
It is the calm, forgiving, equable, well-balanced mind that does the greatest amount of work.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion is the one and sole interest of the people of India.
Swami Vivekananda
Whenever there is a conflict between the pure heart and the intellect, always side with the pure heart.
Swami Vivekananda
The God which cannot give me food in this world, cannot give me Heaven in the other world
Swami Vivekananda
When we suffer, it is because of our own acts God is not to be blamed for it.
Swami Vivekananda
All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind the infinite library of the universe is in our own mind.
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
Buddha taught kindness towards lower beings and since then there has not been a sect in India that has not taught charity to all beings, even to animals. This kindness, this mercy, this charity - greater than any doctrine - are what Buddhism left to us.
Swami Vivekananda
That which is nearest is least observed. The Atman is the nearest of the near, therefore the careless and the unsteady mind gets no clue to it. But the person who is alert, calm, self-restrained, and discriminating ignores the external world and, diving more and more into the inner world, realizes the glory of the Atman and becomes great.
Swami Vivekananda
Expansion is life. Love is expansion. Love is therefore the only law of life.
Swami Vivekananda
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
Be an atheist if you want, but do not believe in anything unquestioningly.
Swami Vivekananda
Know it for certain that without steady devotion for the Guru and unflinching patience and perseverance, nothing is to be achieved. You must have strict morality.
Swami Vivekananda
Out of Mahat comes universal egoism.
Swami Vivekananda
Perfection can never be attained by work.
Swami Vivekananda
