More quotes by Swami Vivekananda

Image
I am in every religion as the thread through a string of pearls. Wherever thou seest extraordinary holiness and extraordinary power raising and purifying humanity, know thou that I am there.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
See here, how fresh is the air, there is the Ganga, and the Sadhus (holy men) are practising meditation, and holding lofty talks! While the moment you will go to Calcutta, you will be thinking of nasty stuff.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The bane of sects, especially in Bengal, is that if any one happens to have a different opinion, he immediately starts a new sect, he has no patience to wait.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Friends or foes, they are all instruments in Her hands to help us work out our own karma, through pleasure or pain. As such, 'Mother' bless all.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
There is only one sin and it is: weakness. When I was a boy, I read Milton's Paradise Lost. The only good man I had any respect for was Satan. The only saint is that person who never weakens, faces everything, and determines die game.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
My children, the secret of religion lies not in theories but in practice.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Science, art, learning and metaphysical research all have their proper functions in life, but if you seek to blend them, you destroy their individual characteristics until, in time, you eliminate the spiritual, for instance, from the religious altogether.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Salvation never will come through hope of reward.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Die in obeying commands like a soldier, and go to Nirvana, but no cowardice.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The hard discipline, with the exception of one great good point, is fraught with evil. The good point is that men can do one or two things well with very little effort, having practiced them every day through generations.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Do one thing at a Time, and while doing it put your whole Soul into it to the exclusion of all else.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
All power is within you you can do anything and everything. Believe in that, do not believe that you are weak do not believe that you are half-crazy lunatics, as most of us do nowadays. You can do anything and everything without even the guidance of any one.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I am indebted to my mother for the efflorescence of my knowledge.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Good and evil thoughts are each a potent power, and they fill the universe.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The banyan tree does not mean awakening, nor does the hill, nor the saint, nor the European couple. The lotus is a symbol of regeneration.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Is it freedom to be a slave to the senses, to anger, to jealousies and a hundred other petty things that must occur every day in human life?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The finer is always the cause, the grosser the effect. So the external world is the effect, the internal the cause.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
God is not to be reached by the weak. Never be weak. You have infinite strength within you. How else will you conquer anything? How else will you come to God?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The progress of the world means more enjoyment and more misery too.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Cowards only sin, brave men never, no, not even in mind.
Swami Vivekananda
