More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
I reached Ghazipur three days ago. Here I am putting up in the house of Babu Satish Chandra Mukherji, a friend of my early age. The place is very pleasant. Close by flows the Ganga, but bathing there is troublesome, for there is no regular path, and it is hard work wading through sands.
Swami Vivekananda
Bold words and bolder deeds are what we want. Awake, awake, great ones! The world is burning with misery. Can you sleep?
Swami Vivekananda
My children, the secret of religion lies not in theories but in practice.
Swami Vivekananda
The same fire that cooks a meal for us may burn a child, and it is no fault of the fire if it does so the difference lies in the way in which it is used.
Swami Vivekananda
The road to salvation is through truth.
Swami Vivekananda
I do not want to get material life, do not want the sense-life, but something higher. That is renunciation. Then, by the power of meditation, undo the mischief that has been done.
Swami Vivekananda
The natural ambition of woman is through marriage to climb up, leaning upon a man but those days are gone. You shall be great without the help of any man, just as you are.
Swami Vivekananda
In a day, when you don't come across any problems - you can be sure that you are travelling in a wrong path
Swami Vivekananda
The sum total of all the cells in an organism is one person so each soul is like one cell and the sum of them is God, and beyond that is the Absolute.
Swami Vivekananda
That which is selfish is immoral, and that which is unselfish is moral.
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
Stand up, be bold, be strong. Take the whole responsibility on your own shoulders, and know that you are the creator of your own destiny.
Swami Vivekananda
Our best work is done, our greatest influence is exerted, when we are without thought of self.
Swami Vivekananda
As soon as we identify ourselves with the work we do, we feel miserable but if we do not identify ourselves with it, we do not feel that misery.
Swami Vivekananda
We want to know in order to make ourselves free. That is our life: one universal cry for freedom.
Swami Vivekananda
According to the law of nature, wherever there is an awakening of a new and stronger life, there it tries to conquer and take the place of the old and the decaying. Nature favours the dying out of the unfit and the survival of the fittest. The final result of such conflict between the priestly and the other classes has been mentioned already.
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
Was there ever a more horrible blasphemy than the statement that all the knowledge of God is confined to this or that book? How dare men call God infinite, and yet try to compress Him within the covers of a little book!
Swami Vivekananda
None of us have yet seen an ideally perfect man, and yet without that ideal we cannot progress.
Swami Vivekananda
Everything is the living God, the living Christ see it as such.
