More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Our best work is done, our greatest influence is exerted, when we are without thought of self.
Swami Vivekananda
Never turn back to see the result of what you have done. Give all to the Lord and go on, and think not of it.
Swami Vivekananda
If you think that you are bound, you remain bound you make your own bondage. If you know that you are free, you are free this moment. This is knowledge, knowledge of freedom. Freedom is the goal of all nature.
Swami Vivekananda
This doctrine of prenatal influence is now slowly being recognized, and science as well as religion calls out: 'Keep yourself holy, and pure.' So deeply has this been recognized in India, that there we even speak of adultery in marriage, except when marriage is consummated in prayer.
Swami Vivekananda
We are bound to earth by desire and also to God, heaven, and the angels. A slave is a slave whether to man, to God, or to angels.
Swami Vivekananda
That which is selfish is immoral, and that which is unselfish is moral.
Swami Vivekananda
...oneness is the secret to everything.
Swami Vivekananda
As soon as I think that I am a little body, I want to preserve it, to protect it, to keep it nice, at the expense of other bodies then you and I become separate.
Swami Vivekananda
None of us have yet seen an ideally perfect man, and yet without that ideal we cannot progress.
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
One who leans on others cannot serve the God of Truth.
Swami Vivekananda
If you can think that infinite power, infinite knowledge and indomitable energy lie within you, and if you can bring out that power, you also can become like me.
Swami Vivekananda
I am persuaded that a leader is not made in one life. He has to be born for it. For the difficulty is not in organisation and making plans the test, the real test, of the leader, lies in holding widely different people together along the line of their common sympathies. And this can only be done unconsciously, never by trying.
Swami Vivekananda
What is the use of talking of one's mistakes to the world? They cannot thereby be undone. For what one has done one must suffer one must try and do better. The world sympathizes only with the strong and the powerful.
Swami Vivekananda
In Buddha we had the great, universal heart and infinite patience, making religion practical and bringing it to everyone's door.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion is realization not talk, nor doctrine, nor theories however beautiful they may be. It is being and becoming, not hearing, or acknowledging it is the whole soul becoming what it believes.
Swami Vivekananda
Be grateful that the poor man is there, so that by making a gift to him you are able to help yourself
Swami Vivekananda
Superstition is great enemy of man but bigotry is worse.
Swami Vivekananda
Space-time-causation, or name-and-form, is what is called Maya.
Swami Vivekananda
The only way to study the mind is to get at facts, and then intellect will arrange them and deduce the principles.
Swami Vivekananda
