More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
This World will always continue to be a mixture of Good and Evil. Our duty is to sympathize with the weak and to Love even the wrongdoer.
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
Live for an ideal, and that one ideal alone. Let it be so great, so strong, that there may be nothing else left in the mind no place for anything else, no time for anything else.
Swami Vivekananda
The Kingdom of Heaven is within you. Where goest thou to seek for the Kingdom of God, asks Jesus of Nazareth, when it is there, within you? Cleanse the spirit, and it is there. It is already yours. How can you get what is not yours? It is yours by right. You are the heirs of immortality, sons of the Eternal Father.
Swami Vivekananda
What we want now is an immense awakening of Râjasika energy, for the whole country is wrapped in the shroud of Tamas. The people of this land must be fed and clothed-must be awakened -must be made more fully active. Otherwise they will become inert, as inert as trees and stones. So, I say, eat large quantities of fish and meat, my boy!
Swami Vivekananda
This universe is the wreckage of the infinite on the shores of the finite.
Swami Vivekananda
As the different streams, having their sources in different places, all mingle their water in the sea O Lord, so the different paths which men take through different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to Thee.
Swami Vivekananda
Many of us do not believe in any form of idolatry but they have no right to object when others do it.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion is not in fault.
Swami Vivekananda
Self-love is the first teacher of self-renunciation.
Swami Vivekananda
Do not say, ‘You are bad’ say only, ‘You are good’, but be better!
Swami Vivekananda
Every human being has the right to ask the reason, why, and to have his question answered by himself, if he only takes the trouble.
Swami Vivekananda
Until higher institutions have been evolved, any attempt to break the old ones will be disastrous.
Swami Vivekananda
Freedom can never be reached by the weak. Throw away all weakness. Tell your body that it is strong, tell your mind that it is strong, and have unbounded faith and hope in yourself.
Swami Vivekananda
It's the coward who says, 'This is fate'...It's the strong who stands up & says 'I will make my fate'
Swami Vivekananda
You must keep a strict eye on your health let everything else be subordinated to that.
Swami Vivekananda
Cowards only sin, brave men never, no, not even in mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Knowledge can only be got in one way, the way of experience there is no other way to know.
Swami Vivekananda
Nature grinds all of us. Keep count of the ounce of pleasure you get. In the long run, nature did her work through you, and when you die your body will make other plants grow. Yet we think all the time that we are getting pleasure ourselves. Thus the wheel goes round.
Swami Vivekananda
As long as we believe ourselves to be even the least different from God, fear remains with us but when we know ourselves to be the One, fear goes of what can we be afraid.?
Swami Vivekananda
