He who has conquered the internal nature controls the whole universe it becomes his servant.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Man makes the mistake of separating himself from God and identifying himself with the body.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Egotism, pride, etc. must be given up.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
All motion, either in the body or anywhere else, is the work of this Prana.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
If money help a man to do good to others, it is of some value but if not, it is simply a mass of evil, and the sooner it is got rid of, the better.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
God is not to be reached by the weak. Never be weak. You have infinite strength within you. How else will you conquer anything? How else will you come to God?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The calm man is not the man who is dull. You must not mistake Sattva for dullness or laziness. The calm man is the one who has control over the mind waves. Activity is the manifestation of inferior strength, calmness, of the superior.
Swami Vivekananda

Cowards only sin, brave men never, no, not even in mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
There is, however, only one idea of duty which has been universally accepted by all mankind, of all ages and sects and countries, and that has been summed up in a Sanskrit aphorism thus: Do not injure any being not injuring any being is virtue, injuring any being is sin.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The same fire that cooks a meal for us may burn a child, and it is no fault of the fire if it does so the difference lies in the way in which it is used.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
If you can get absolutely still for just one moment, you have reached the goal.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Brave, bold men, these are what we want. What we want is vigour in the blood, strength in the nerves, iron muscles and nerves of steel, not softening namby-pamby ideas.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Only when a man sees this universe as God does the veil fall from his eyes then that man, purified and cleansed, finds his whole vision changed.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Service to man is service to god
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Do not wait for anybody or anything. Do whatever you can. Build your hope on none.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Superstitions are all materialism, because they are all based on the consciousness of body, body, body. No spirit there. Spirit has no superstitions - it is beyond the vain desires of the body.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The meditative state is the highest state of existence. So long as there is desire, no real happiness can come. It is only the contemplative, witness-like study of objects that brings to us real enjoyment and happiness.
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
Through the senses, anger comes, and sorrow comes.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Charity never faileth.
