More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Do not be afraid of a small beginning. great things come afterwards. Be courageous. Do not try to lead your brethren, but serve them. The brutal mania for leading has sunk many a great ships in the waters of life. Take care especially of that, i.e. be unselfish even unto death, and work.
Swami Vivekananda
Throw overboard all idea of jealousy and egotism, once for all. Come on to the practical field with tremendous energy to work, in the fullness of strength! As to the rest, the Lord will point out the way.
Swami Vivekananda
The real work is in the practice.
Swami Vivekananda
Cowards only sin, brave men never, no, not even in mind.
Swami Vivekananda
I have a message for the world, which I will deliver without fear and care for the future. To the reformers I will point out that I am a greater reformer than any one of them. They want to reform only little bits. I want root-and-branch reform.
Swami Vivekananda
He whose book of the heart has been opened needs no other books.
Swami Vivekananda
The Hindus have to learn a little bit of materialism from the West and teach them a little bit of spirituality.
Swami Vivekananda
Whatever is weak, avoid! It is death.
Swami Vivekananda
The present is determined by our past actions, and the future by the present.
Swami Vivekananda
The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.
Swami Vivekananda
I am no metaphysician, no philosopher, nay, no saint. But I am poor and I love the poor. I see what they call the poor of this country and how many there are who feel for them!
Swami Vivekananda
Are great things ever done smoothly? Time, patience, and indomitable will must show.
Swami Vivekananda
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
Whatever you are doing, put your whole mind on it. If you are shooting, your mind should be only on the target. Then you will never miss. If you are learning your lessons, think only of the lesson. In India boys and girls are taught to do this.
Swami Vivekananda
In every attempt there will be one set of men who will applaud, and another who will pick holes. Go on doing your own work, what need have you to reply to any party?
Swami Vivekananda
Expansion is life. Love is expansion. Love is therefore the only law of life.
Swami Vivekananda
The more we grow in Love, Virtue and Holiness, the more we see Love, Virtue and Holiness outside.
Swami Vivekananda
India is immortal if she persists in her search for God. But if she goes in for politics and social conflict, she will die.
Swami Vivekananda
Whenever two particles come together, they are held by a certain attraction and there will come a time when those particles will separate. This is the eternal law. So, wherever there is a body - either grosser or finer, either in heaven or on earth - death will overcome it.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion and religion alone is the life of India, and when that goes India will die, in spite of politics, in spite of social reforms, in spite of Kubera's wealth poured upon the head of every one of her children.
