Many of us do not believe in any form of idolatry but they have no right to object when others do it.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The essence of our Faith consists simply in this freedom of the Ishta.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
How do you know what possibilities lie behind that degradation on the surface? You know but little of that which is within you. For behind you is the ocean of infinite power and blessedness.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
All love is expansion, all selfishness is contraction. Love is therefore the only law of life. He who loves lives, he who is selfish is dying. Therefore love for love's sake, because it is the only law of life, just as you breathe to live.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
To work with undaunted energy! What fear! Who is powerful enough to thwart you.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
As the cause is, so the effect will be.
Swami Vivekananda

In the primal state before any manifestation, when there was no motion but perfect balance, this Prakriti was indestructible, because decomposition or death comes from instability or change.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The greatest truths are the simplest things in the world, simple as your own existence.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
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
Image
The benefits of knowledge can only be realized in practice.
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
It is clear to us that, for good or for evil, our vitality is concentrated in our religion. You cannot change it. You cannot destroy it and put in its place another.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The test of Ahimsa is absence of jealousy.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Each one of you has a glorious future if you dare believe me. Have a tremendous faith in yourselves, like the faith I had when I was I was young... Have that faith, each one of you, in yourself - that eternal power is lodged in every soul - and you will revive the whole of India.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
May blessings and happiness attend every step of your progress in this world.
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
Everything which has name and form must die. If there are heavens with forms, these heavens must vanish in course of time they may last millions of years, but there must come a time when they will have to go.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Always remember that renunciation is the root idea. Unless one is initiated into this idea, not even Brahma and the World - gods have the power to attain Mukti
Swami Vivekananda
Image
When once you consider an action, do not let anything dissuade you. Consult your heart, not others, and then follow its dictates.
Swami Vivekananda

Dependence is misery. Independence is happiness.
