Morality is the struggle of the bound will to get free and is the proof that we have come from perfection. . . .
Swami Vivekananda
Image
This is the great lesson that we are here to learn through myriads of births and heavens and hells - that there is nothing to be asked for, desired for, beyond one's spiritual Self (atman).
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Religion is the one and sole interest of the people of India.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Infinite strength is religion and God.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Do not believe a thing because you have read about it in a book. Do not believe a thing because another man has said it was true. Do not believe in words because they are hallowed by tradition. Find out the truth for yourself. Reason it out. That is realization.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Never turn back to see the result of what you have done. Give all to the Lord and go on, and think not of it.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
. . . Have patience and be faithful unto death. Do not fight among yourselves. Be perfectly pure in money dealings. . . . We will do great things yet. . . . So long as you have faith and honesty and devotion, everything will prosper.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Man can think of divine things only in his own human way, to us the Absolute can be expressed only in our relative language.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
To realize the spirit as spirit is practical religion. Everything else is good so far as it leads to this one grand idea.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
All growth, progress, well - being, or degradation is but relative.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
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
Image
In everything we do, the serpent ego is rising up.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Impurity is a mere superimposition under which your real nature has become hidden. But the real you is already perfect, already strong.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
In nature alone are forms. That which is not of nature cannot have any forms, fine or gross. It must be formless.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The first angle is, love questions not. It is not a beggar. ... When love asks nothing, [when it] gives everything. This is the real spiritual worship, the worship through love. Whether God is merciful is no longer questioned. He is God He is my love. Whether God is omnipotent and almighty, limited or unlimited , is no longer questioned.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Have faith in yourselves, be proud of your ancestors, instead of being ashamed of them.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Everything can be sacrificed for truth, but truth cannot be sacrificed for anything.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
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
I am proud to call myself a Hindu, I am proud that I am one of your unworthy servants. I am proud that I am a countryman of yours, you the descendants of the sages, you the descendants of the most glorious Rishis the world ever saw. Therefore have faith in yourselves, be proud of your ancestors, instead of being ashamed of them.
Swami Vivekananda

Here in this blessed land, the foundation, the backbone, the life-centre is religion and religion alone.
