Image
Practice is absolutely necessary. You may sit down and listen to me by the hour every day, but if you do not practice, you will not get one step further. It all depends on practice.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Every human being has the right to ask the reason, why, and to have his question answered by himself, if he only takes the trouble.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Let there be as little materialism as possible, with the maximum of spirituality.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Whatever you think, that you will be. If you think yourselves weak, weak you will be if you think yourselves strong, strong you will be.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Even the least work done for others awakens the power within even thinking the least good of others gradually instills into the heart the strength of a lion.
Swami Vivekananda

Nothing else is necessary but these - love, sincerity, and patience.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
If you die, you get to heaven and if you win, you enjoy the earth (Gita). Even if you die in this attempt, well and good, many will take up the work, following your example. And if you succeed, you will live a life of great opulence.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The more we grow in love and virtue and holiness, the more we see love and virtue and holiness outside. All condemnation of others really condemns ourselves. Adjust the microcosm (which is in your power to do) and the macrocosm will adjust itself for you. It is like the hydrostatic paradox, one drop of water can balance the universe.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The first angle is, love questions not. It is not a beggar. ... When love asks nothing, [when it] gives everything. This is the real spiritual worship, the worship through love. Whether God is merciful is no longer questioned. He is God He is my love. Whether God is omnipotent and almighty, limited or unlimited , is no longer questioned.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Thought ceases in meditation even the mind's elements are quite quiet. Blood circulation stops. His breath stops, but he is not dead.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Every one is as much bound in thought, word, deed, and mind, as a piece of stone or this table. That I talk to you now is as rigorous in causation as that you listen to me. There is no freedom until you go beyond Maya. That is the real freedom of the soul.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Religion is the peculiarity of the growth of the Indian mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
All law has its essence in causation.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
In nature alone are forms. That which is not of nature cannot have any forms, fine or gross. It must be formless.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
An atheist can be charitable but not religious. But the religious man must be charitable.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The Absolute can never be thought of.
Swami Vivekananda

This earth is higher than all the heavens this is the greatest school in the universe.
