More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
May I be born again and again, and suffer thousands of miseries so that I may worship the only God that exists, the only God I believe in, the sum total of all souls-and, above all, my God the wicked, my God the miserable, my God the poor of all races, of all species, is the special object of my worship.
Swami Vivekananda
If Jesus Christ was not perfect, then the religion bearing his name falls to the ground.
Swami Vivekananda
These tremendous contradictions in our intellect, in our knowledge, yea, in all the facts of our life face us on all sides.
Swami Vivekananda
There may be a million microbes of misery floating about us. Never mind! They dare not approach us, they have no power to get a hold on us, until the mind is weakened.
Swami Vivekananda
You must keep a strict eye on your health let everything else be subordinated to that.
Swami Vivekananda
Be moral. Be brave. Be a heart-whole man, strictly moral, brave unto desperation. Don't bother your head with religious theories. Cowards only sin, brave men never, no, not even in mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Man makes the mistake of separating himself from God and identifying himself with the body.
Swami Vivekananda
The Hindus have cultivated the power of analysis and abstraction. No nation has yet produced a grammar like that of Panini.
Swami Vivekananda
The more we grow in love and virtue and holiness, the more we see love and virtue and holiness outside. All condemnation of others really condemns ourselves. Adjust the microcosm (which is in your power to do) and the macrocosm will adjust itself for you. It is like the hydrostatic paradox, one drop of water can balance the universe.
Swami Vivekananda
Happiness presents itself to man, wearing the crown of sorrow on its head. He who welcomes it must also welcome sorrow.
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
To work with undaunted energy! What fear! Who is powerful enough to thwart you.
Swami Vivekananda
All these disciplines are for the purification of the heart. And as soon as it is pure, all truths flash upon it in a minute all truth in the universe will manifest in your heart, if you are sufficiently pure.
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
To his enemies the householder must be a hero. Them he must resist. That is the duty of the householder. He must not sit down in a corner and weep, and talk nonsense about non-resistance. If he does not show himself a hero to his enemies he has not done his duty.
Swami Vivekananda
A man must not only have faith but intellectual faith too. To make a man take up everything and believe it, would be to make him a lunatic.
Swami Vivekananda
It is a retarding element creating hatred and anger, and causing people to fight each other, and making them unsympathetic.
Swami Vivekananda
Perfection is always infinite.
Swami Vivekananda
Man is a degeneration of what he was.
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.
