Thinking of objects, attachment to them is formed in a man. From attachment longing, and from longing anger grows.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
All perfection is there already in the soul. But this perfection has been covered up by nature layer after layer of nature is covering this purity of the soul.
Swami Vivekananda
Man stands in materialism you and I are materialists. Our talking about God and Spirit is good but it is simply the vogue in our society to talk thus: we have learnt it parrot-like and repeat it.
Swami Vivekananda
Highest love for God can never be achieved without renunciation.
Swami Vivekananda
Here in India, it is religion that forms the very core of the national heart. It is the backbone, the bed-rock, the foundation upon which the national edifice has been built. Politics, power, and even intellect form a secondary consideration here. Religion, therefore, is the one consideration in India.
Swami Vivekananda
Change is always in regard to something which does not change, or which changes relatively less.
Swami Vivekananda
You must all pay attention to your health first.
Swami Vivekananda
Books are only made so that they may point the way to a higher life but no good results unless the path is trodden with unflinching steps!
Swami Vivekananda
Blows are what awaken us & help to break the dream. They show us the insufficiency of this world & make us long to escape, to have freedom.
Swami Vivekananda
The Vedas give information on various subjects. They have come together and form one book. And in later times, when other subjects were separated from religion - when astronomy and astrology were taken out of religion - these subjects, being connected with the Vedas and being ancient, were considered very holy.
Swami Vivekananda
We have to keep the body in good health we have to take care of what we eat and drink, and what we do.
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
Believe in yourself and the world will be at your feet.
Swami Vivekananda
By doing well the duty which is nearest to us, the duty which is in our hands now, we make ourselves stronger and improving our strength in this manner step by step, we may reach a state in which it shall be our privilege to do the most coveted and honored duties in life and in society.
Swami Vivekananda
There is no end to the power a man can obtain.
Swami Vivekananda
I am what I am, and what I am is always due to him whatever in me or in my words is good and true and eternal came to me from his mouth, his heart, his soul. Sri Ramakrishna is the spring of this phase of the earth's religious life, of its impulses and activities. If I can show the world one glimpse of my Master, I shall not have lived in vain.
Swami Vivekananda
Do not go for glass beads leaving the mine of diamonds. This life is a great chance. What, seekest thou the pleasures of the world? He is the fountain of all bliss. See for the highest, aim at that highest, and you shall reach the highest.
Swami Vivekananda
My children, the secret of religion lies not in theories but in practice.
Swami Vivekananda
Who makes us ignorant? We ourselves. We put our hands over our eyes and weep that it is dark.
Swami Vivekananda
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all good things will be added unto you. Follow God and you shall have whatever you desire.
Swami Vivekananda
One ounce of practice is worth a thousand pounds of theory.
Swami Vivekananda
