More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Get rid of the bondage of body we have become slaves to it and learnt to hug our chains and love our slavery so much so that we long to perpetuate it, and go on with body body for ever. Do not cling to the idea of body, do not look for a future existence in any way like this one do not love or want the body, even of those dear to us.
Swami Vivekananda
Man is not mind, he is soul.
Swami Vivekananda
Whatever you think, that you will be. If you think yourselves weak, weak you will be if you think yourselves strong, strong you will be.
Swami Vivekananda
He who wants to become a Bhakta must be strong, must be healthy.
Swami Vivekananda
TO worship God even for the sake of salvation or any other reward is equally degenerate. Love knows no reward. Give your love unto to God, but do not ask anything in return even from Him through pray.
Swami Vivekananda
The less passion there is, the better we work. The calmer we are the better for us and the more the amount of work we can do.
Swami Vivekananda
We want to worship a living God. I have not seen anything but God all my life, nor have you... He is everywhere, saying, I am. The moment you feel I am, you are conscious of Existence. Where shall we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being?
Swami Vivekananda
I do not care what philosophy you take up only I am ready to prove here that throughout the whole of India, there runs a mutual and cordial string of eternal faith in the perfection of humanity, and I believe in it myself. And let that faith be spread over the whole land.
Swami Vivekananda
An atheist can be charitable but not religious. But the religious man must be charitable.
Swami Vivekananda
Prana, according to the Vedanta, is the principle of life. It is like ether, an omnipresent principle and all motion, either in the body or anywhere else, is the work of this Prana. It is greater than Akasha, and through it everything lives. Prana is in the mother, in the father, in the sister, in the teacher, Prana is the knower.
Swami Vivekananda
Stand upon the Atman, then only can we truly love the world. Take a very, very high stand knowing our universal nature, we must look with perfect calmness upon all the panorama of the world.
Swami Vivekananda
These births and deaths are changes in nature which we are mistaking for changes in us.
Swami Vivekananda
Charity is great, but the moment you say it is all, you run the risk of running into materialism.
Swami Vivekananda
Tell the truth boldly, whether it hurts or not. Never pander to weakness. If truth is too much for intelligent people and sweeps them away, let them go the sooner the better.
Swami Vivekananda
He who is alone is happy. Do good to all, like everyone, but do not love anyone. It is a bondage, and bondage brings only misery. Live alone in your mind - that is happiness. To have nobody to care for and never minding who cares for one is the way to be free.
Swami Vivekananda
Know that the mind which is born to succeed joins itself to a determined will and perseveres.
Swami Vivekananda
Let people say whatever they like, stick to your own convictions, and rest assured, the world will be at your feet. They say, Have faith in this fellow or that fellow, but I say, Have faith in yourself first, that's the way. Have faith in yourself-all power is in you-be conscious and bring it out. Say, I can do everything.
Swami Vivekananda
Differentiation is in name and form only.
Swami Vivekananda
Bold has been my message to the people of the west, bolder is my message to you, my beloved countryman.
Swami Vivekananda
Forget not that thy marriage, thy wealth, thy life are not for sense-pleasure, are not for thy individual personal happiness.
Swami Vivekananda
