More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Buddha and Christ were second-rate heroes. The greatest men that ever live pass away unknown. They put forth no claims for themselves, establish no schools or systems in their name. They never create any stir but just melt down in love.
Swami Vivekananda
Form and formless are intertwined in this world. The formless can only be expressed in form and form can only be thought with the formless.
Swami Vivekananda
As long as we believe ourselves to be even the least different from God, fear remains with us but when we know ourselves to be the One, fear goes of what can we be afraid.?
Swami Vivekananda
Take up an idea, devote yourself to it, struggle on in patience, and the sun will rise for you.
Swami Vivekananda
Let us give out of our own bounty, just as God gives to us.
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
From Him are all name and form all the animals and men are from Him. He is the one Supreme. He who knows Him becomes free.
Swami Vivekananda
Get rid of the bondage of body we have become slaves to it and learnt to hug our chains and love our slavery so much so that we long to perpetuate it, and go on with body body for ever. Do not cling to the idea of body, do not look for a future existence in any way like this one do not love or want the body, even of those dear to us.
Swami Vivekananda
Everything that occupies space has form. The formless can only be infinite.
Swami Vivekananda
Alcohol is not the answer to all questions
Swami Vivekananda
It is the calm, forgiving, equable, well-balanced mind that does the greatest amount of work.
Swami Vivekananda
Our best work is done, our greatest influence is exerted, when we are without thought of self.
Swami Vivekananda
Cowards only sin, brave men never, no, not even in mind.
Swami Vivekananda
In every attempt there will be one set of men who will applaud, and another who will pick holes. Go on doing your own work, what need have you to reply to any party?
Swami Vivekananda
We get caught. How? Not by what we give but by what we expect. We get misery in return for our love: not from the fact that we love but from the fact that we want love in return. There is no misery where there is no want. Desire, want, is the father of all misery. Desires are bound by the laws of success and failure. Desires must bring misery.
Swami Vivekananda
My ideal, indeed, can be put into a few words, and that is: to preach unto mankind their divinity, and how to make it manifest in every movement of life.
Swami Vivekananda
Believe in yourself and the world will be at your feet.
Swami Vivekananda
This body is a combination. It is only a fiction to say that I have one body, you another, and the sun another.
Swami Vivekananda
The power is with the silent ones, who only live and love and then withdraw their personality. They never say “me” and “mine” they are only blessed in being instruments
Swami Vivekananda
Books never make religions, but religions make books. We must not forget that. No book ever created God, but God inspired all the great books. And no book ever created a soul.
Swami Vivekananda
