Art must be in touch with nature - and wherever that touch is gone, Art degenerates - yet it must be above nature.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
I have come to deal with principles. I have only to preach that God comes again and again, and that He came in India as Krishna, Rama, and Buddha, and that He will come again. It can almost be demonstrated that after each 500 years the world sinks, and a tremendous spiritual wave comes, and on the top of the wave is a Christ.
Swami Vivekananda
The cheerful mind perseveres and the strong mind hews its way through a thousand difficulties.
Swami Vivekananda
It is the calm, forgiving, equable, well-balanced mind that does the greatest amount of work.
Swami Vivekananda
This Maya is everywhere. It is terrible. Yet we have to work through it. The man who says that he will work when the world has become all good and then he will enjoy bliss is as likely to succeed as the man who sits beside the Ganga and says, I will ford the river when all the water has run into the ocean.
Swami Vivekananda
. . . If you are really my children, you will fear nothing, stop at nothing. You will be like lions. We must rouse India and the whole world. No cowardice.
Swami Vivekananda
When we come to nonattachment, then we can understand the marvelous mystery of the universe: how it is intense activity and at the same time intense peace, how it is work every moment and rest every moment.
Swami Vivekananda
That is good. It is a law of nature. That is the way with all founders of religion. Without persecution superior ideas cannot penetrate into the heart of society.
Swami Vivekananda
An atheist can be charitable but not religious. But the religious man must be charitable.
Swami Vivekananda
Know this also to be one of the spiritual practices, a discipline for God - realisation. Its aim also is Self - realisation.
Swami Vivekananda
As thou thinkest, so art thou.
Swami Vivekananda
Even the least work done for others awakens the power within.
Swami Vivekananda
The same fire that cooks a meal for us may burn a child, and it is no fault of the fire if it does so the difference lies in the way in which it is used.
Swami Vivekananda
Infinite strength is religion and God.
Swami Vivekananda
The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.
Swami Vivekananda
Law is death. The more of the law in a country, the worse for the country.
Swami Vivekananda
Watch people do their most common actions these are indeed the things that will tell you the real character of a great person.
Swami Vivekananda
In one word, this ideal is that you are divine.
Swami Vivekananda
You have heard that Christ said, 'My words are spirit and they are life'. So are my words spirit and life they will burn their way into your brain and you will never get away from them!
Swami Vivekananda
Motion is always a relative thing. I move in relation to something else. Any particle in this universe can change in relation to any other particle but take the whole universe as one, and in relation to what can it move? There is nothing besides it. So this infinite Unit is unchangeable, immovable, absolute, and this is the Real Man.
Swami Vivekananda
Whatever is weak, avoid! It is death.
Swami Vivekananda
