Image
When death is so certain, it is better to die for a good cause.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Even the greatest fool can accomplish a task if it were after his or her heart. But the intelligent ones are those who can convert every work into one that suits their taste.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Do one thing at a Time, and while doing it put your whole Soul into it to the exclusion of all else.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
What is salvation? To live with God. Where? Anywhere. Here this moment. One moment in infinite time is quite as good as any other moment.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We are bound to earth by desire and also to God, heaven, and the angels. A slave is a slave whether to man, to God, or to angels.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Marriage and sex and money the only living devils.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
How to transcend the senses without disturbing the health is what we want to learn.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Our Soul is a spark of the Divine. It is pure and perfect. Evil deeds merely obstruct our vision of the true nature of our Soul. Through good deeds we can become conscious of this perfection again.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
You cannot take away one atom of matter or one foot-pound of force. You cannot add to the universe one atom of matter or one foot-pound of force. As such, evolution does not come out of zero then, where does it come from? From previous involution.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
An intellectual, heartless man never becomes an inspired man. It is always the heart that speaks in the man of love it discovers a greater instrument than intellect can give you, the instrument of inspiration.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Love and charity for the whole human race, that is the test of true religiousness.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The day, man will find that he never really dies that his Soul persists beyond death he will have no more fear of death.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Everything must be sacrificed, if necessary, for that one sentiment: universality.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Get away from all books and forms and let your soul see its Self. We are deluded and maddened by books, Shri Krishna declares.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
In a day, when you don't come across any problems - you can be sure that you are travelling in a wrong path
Swami Vivekananda
Image
All sectarian religions take for granted that all men are equal. This is not warranted by science. There is more difference between minds than between bodies. One fundamental doctrine of Hinduism is that all men are different, there being unity in variety. Even for a drunkard, there are some Mantras-even for a man going to a prostitute!
Swami Vivekananda
Image
It is the want that creates the body.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
One atom in this universe cannot move without dragging the whole world along with it. There cannot be any progress without the whole world following in the wake, and it is becoming every day dearer that the solution of any problem can never be attained on racial, or national, or narrow grounds.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The same power is in every man, the one manifesting more, the other less the same potentiality is in everyone.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Om is the greatest, meaning the Absolute.
