When you talk and think of the Absolute, you have to do it in the relative so all these logical arguments apply.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Feel, my children, feel feel for the poor, the ignorant, the downtrodden feel till the heart stops and the brain reels and you think you will go mad then pour the soul out at the feet of the Lord, and then will come power, help and indomitable energy.
Swami Vivekananda
Not even the deepest sleep will give you such a rest as meditation can. The mind goes on jumping even in deepest sleep. Just those few moments in meditation your brain has almost stopped. ... You forget the body. ... You feel such pleasure in it. You become so light. This perfect rest we will get in meditation.
Swami Vivekananda
The mistake is that we cling to the body when it is the spirit that is really immortal.
Swami Vivekananda
Purity, patience and perseverance are the three essentials to success and above all love.
Swami Vivekananda
No great work can be achieved by humbug. It is through love, a passion for truth, and tremendous energy, that all undertakings are accomplished.
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
Be grateful that the poor man is there, so that by making a gift to him you are able to help yourself
Swami Vivekananda
Shri Ramakrishna use to say, As Long as I Live, so long do I learn. That man or that society which has nothing to learn is already in the jaws of death.
Swami Vivekananda
Have charity towards all beings. Pity those who are in distress. Love all creatures. Do not be jealous of anyone. Look not to the faults of others.
Swami Vivekananda
Was there ever a more horrible blasphemy than the statement that all the knowledge of God is confined to this or that book? How dare men call God infinite, and yet try to compress Him within the covers of a little book!
Swami Vivekananda
Infinite perfection is in every man, though unmanifested. Every man has in him the potentiality of attaining to perfect saintliness, Rishihood, or to the most exalted position of an Avatâra, or to the greatness of a hero in material discoveries.
Swami Vivekananda
Wherever there is evil and wherever there is ignorance and want of knowledge, I have found out by experience that all evil comes, as our scriptures say, relying upon differences, and that all good comes from faith in equality, in the underlying sameness and oneness of things. This is the great Vedantic ideal.
Swami Vivekananda
My child, what I want is muscles of iron and nerves of steel, inside which dwells a mind of the same material as that of which the thunderbolt is made.
Swami Vivekananda
Take courage and work on. Patience and steady work- this is the only way.
Swami Vivekananda
Books never make religions, but religions make books. We must not forget that. No book ever created God, but God inspired all the great books. And no book ever created a soul.
Swami Vivekananda
The Impersonal God seen through the mists of sense is personal.
Swami Vivekananda
This craving for health, wealth, long life, and the like - the so - called good - is nothing but an illusion.
Swami Vivekananda
This universe is the wreckage of the infinite on the shores of the finite.
Swami Vivekananda
Man has infinite power within himself, and he can realise it - he can realise himself as the one infinite Self. It can be done but you do not believe it. You pray to God and keep your powder dry all the time.
Swami Vivekananda
Perfect life is a contradiction in terms. Therefore we must always expect to find things not up to our highest ideal. Knowing this, we are bound to make the best of everything.
Swami Vivekananda
