More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Whatever you believe, that you will be. If you believe yourselves to be sages, sages you will be tomorrow. There is nothing to obstruct you.
Swami Vivekananda
All real progress must be slow.
Swami Vivekananda
Do not fret because the world looks with suspicion at every new attempt, even though it be in the path of spirituality.
Swami Vivekananda
A sapling must be hedged about for protection, but when it becomes a tree, a hedge would be a hindrance. So there is no need to criticise and condemn the old forms.
Swami Vivekananda
The Kingdom of Heaven is within us. God is within us. He is the Soul of our souls. See Him in your own soul. That is practical religion. That is freedom.
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
The Yogi must always practice.
Swami Vivekananda
Astrology and all these mystical things are generally signs of a weak mind therefore as soon as they are becoming prominent in our minds, we should see a physician, take good food, and rest.
Swami Vivekananda
I direct my attention to the individual, to make him strong, to teach him that he himself is divine, and I call upon men to make themselves conscious of this divinity within. That is really the ideal --conscious or unconscious --of every religion.
Swami Vivekananda
Egotism, pride, etc. must be given up.
Swami Vivekananda
The hard discipline, with the exception of one great good point, is fraught with evil. The good point is that men can do one or two things well with very little effort, having practiced them every day through generations.
Swami Vivekananda
If Jesus Christ was not perfect, then the religion bearing his name falls to the ground.
Swami Vivekananda
Don't look back—forward, infinite energy, infinite enthusiasm, infinite daring, and infinite patience—then alone can great deeds be accomplished.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion is the life of India, religion is the language of this country, the symbol of all its movements.
Swami Vivekananda
Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.
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
Why should a Man be Moral? Because this strengthens his will.
Swami Vivekananda
What do you gain in heaven? You become gods, drink nectar, and get rheumatism. There is less misery there than on earth, but also less truth.
Swami Vivekananda
My faith is in the younger generation, the modern generation. Out of them will come my workers. They will work out the whole problem like lions
Swami Vivekananda
This life is a hard fact work your way through it boldly, though it may be adamantine no matter, the soul is stronger.
Swami Vivekananda
