So long as the millions live in hunger and ignorance, I hold every man a traitor who, having been educated at their expense, pays not the least heed to them.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Where no bondage is, there is no cause and effect.
Swami Vivekananda
The awakening of the soul to its bondage and its effort to stand up and assert itself - this is called life.
Swami Vivekananda
In one word, this ideal is that you are divine.
Swami Vivekananda
You must have an iron will, if you would cross the ocean. You must be strong enough to pierce mountains.
Swami Vivekananda
Every time you meditate you will keep your growth.
Swami Vivekananda
The benefits of knowledge can only be realized in practice.
Swami Vivekananda
Hindus believe in God positively. Buddhism does not try to know whether He is or not.
Swami Vivekananda
The difference between architecture and building is that the former expresses an idea, while the latter is merely a structure built on economical principles. The value of matter depends solely on its capacities of expressing ideas.
Swami Vivekananda
Not believing in the glory of our own soul is what the Vedanta calls atheism.
Swami Vivekananda
The vapour becomes snow, then water, then Ganga but when it is vapour, there is no Ganga, and when it is water, we think of no vapour in it. The idea of creation or change is inseparably connected with will. So long as we perceive this world in motion, we have to conceive will behind it.
Swami Vivekananda
It is always for greater joy that you give up the lesser. This is practical religion-the attainment of freedom, renunciation. Renounce the lower so that you may get the higher. Renounce! Renounce! Sacrifice! Give up! Not for zero. Not for nothing. But to get the higher.
Swami Vivekananda
God is cruel and not cruel. He is all being and not being at the same time. Hence He is all contradictions. Nature also is nothing but a mass of contradictions.
Swami Vivekananda
The one who actually succeeds in making himself believe that he is having a good time is the man of splendid physical health.
Swami Vivekananda
Egotism, pride, etc. must be given up.
Swami Vivekananda
Morality is the struggle of the bound will to get free and is the proof that we have come from perfection. . . .
Swami Vivekananda
Hold on to your own ideal. . . . Above all, never attempt to guide or rule others, or, as the Yankees say, boss others. Be the servant of all.
Swami Vivekananda
Dependence is misery. Independence is happiness.
Swami Vivekananda
Make no conditions and none will be imposed.
Swami Vivekananda
The road to salvation is through truth.
Swami Vivekananda
Fill the brain with high thoughts, highest ideals, place them day and night before you, and out of that will come great work.
Swami Vivekananda
