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
Image
I am neither man nor angel. I have no sex nor limit. I am knowledge itself. I am He. I have neither anger nor hatred. I have neither pain nor pleasure. Death or birth I never had. For I am Knowledge Absolute, and Bliss Absolute. I am He, my soul, I am He!
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Learn good knowledge with all devotion from the lowest caste. Learn the way to freedom, even if it comes from a Pariah, by serving him. If a woman is a jewel, take her in marriage even if she comes from a low family of the lowest caste. Such is the law laid down by our great and peerless legislator, the divine Manu.

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
Image
Christ said, Resist not evil, and we do not understand it until we discover that it is not only moral but actually the best policy, for anger is loss of energy to the man who displays it. You should not allow your minds to come into those brain-combinations of anger and hatred.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Books are only made so that they may point the way to a higher life but no good results unless the path is trodden with unflinching steps!
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The progress of the world means more enjoyment and more misery too.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Everything that we perceive around us is struggling towards freedom, from the atom to the man, from the insentient, lifeless particle of matter to the highest existence on earth, the human soul. The whole universe is in fact the result of this struggle for freedom.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Only those who want nothing are masters of Nature.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
None of us have yet seen an ideally perfect man, and yet without that ideal we cannot progress.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The disciple must have great power of endurance. Bear all evil and misery without one thought of unhappiness, resistance, remedy, or retaliation. That is true endurance, and that you must acquire.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
This universe is the wreckage of the infinite on the shores of the finite.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Feel like Christ and you will be a Christ feel like Buddha and you will be a Buddha. It is feeling that is the life, the strength, the vitality, without which no amount of intellectual activity can reach God.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Religion is not in fault.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Materialism prevails in Europe today. You may pray for the salvation of the modern sceptics, but they do not yield, they want reason.
Swami Vivekananda
