More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Only those who want nothing are masters of Nature.
Swami Vivekananda
Have faith in yourself, all power is in you, be conscious and bring it out
Swami Vivekananda
Jnana teaches that the world should be given up, but not on that account to be abandoned. To be in the world but not of it-is the true test of the sannyasin.
Swami Vivekananda
No great work can be achieved by humbug. It is through love, a passion for truth, and tremendous energy, that all undertakings are accomplished.
Swami Vivekananda
Work and worship are necessary to take away the veil, to lift off the bondage and illusion.
Swami Vivekananda
When we suffer, it is because of our own acts God is not to be blamed for it.
Swami Vivekananda
From the highest god to the meanest grass, the same power is present in all - whether manifested or not. We shall have to call forth that power by going from door to door.
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
Well has it been said that man is the only animal that naturally looks upwards every other animal naturally looks down. That looking upward and going upward and seeking perfection are what is called salvation and the sooner a man begins to go higher, the sooner he raises himself towards this idea of truth as salvation.
Swami Vivekananda
Mind you, there is no value in learning. You are all mistaken in learning. The only value of knowledge is in the strengthening, the disciplining, of the mind.
Swami Vivekananda
The present is determined by our past actions, and the future by the present.
Swami Vivekananda
Art must be in touch with nature - and wherever that touch is gone, Art degenerates - yet it must be above nature.
Swami Vivekananda
Hold on to your own ideal. . . . Above all, never attempt to guide or rule others, or, as the Yankees say, boss others. Be the servant of all.
Swami Vivekananda
All motion in this universe is in the form of waves, successively rising and falling.
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
Face the brutes. That is a lesson for all life-face the terrible, face it boldly. Like the monkeys, the hardships of life fall back when we cease to flee before them.
Swami Vivekananda
The spirit is the cause of all our thoughts and body-action, and everything, but it is untouched by good or evil, pleasure or pain, heat of cold, and all the dualism of nature, although it lends its light to everything.
Swami Vivekananda
It may be that I shall find it good to get outside of my body - to cast it off like a disused garment. But I shall not cease to work! I shall inspire men everywhere, until the world shall know that it is one with God.
Swami Vivekananda
In spirituality the Americans are very inferior to us. But their society is very superior to ours.
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
