This is the great lesson that we are here to learn through myriads of births and heavens and hells - that there is nothing to be asked for, desired for, beyond one's spiritual Self (atman).

An allopath comes and treats cholera patients and gives them his medicines. The Homeopath comes and gives his medicines and cures perhaps more than the allopath does because the Homoeopath does not disturb the patients but allows the nature to deal with them.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Om is the greatest, meaning the Absolute.
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
Those giants of old, the ancient Rishis, who never walked but strode, of whom if you were to think but for a moment you would shrivel up into a moth, they sir, had time-and you have no time!
Swami Vivekananda

Truth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
What we want is muscles of iron and nerves of steel. We have wept long enough. No more weeping, but stand on your feet and be men. It is man-making theories that we want. It is man-making education all round that we want.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
To succeed, you must have tremendous perserverance... tremendous will. I will drink the ocean, says the perservering soul at my will mountains will crumble. Have that sort of energy, that sort of will work hard, and you will reach the goal.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
To devote your life to the good of all and to the happiness of all is religion. Whatever you do for your own sake is not religion.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
What is salvation? To live with God. Where? Anywhere. Here this moment. One moment in infinite time is quite as good as any other moment.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
He who has conquered the internal nature controls the whole universe it becomes his servant.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
This intelligence itself is modified into what we call egoism, and this intelligence is the cause of all the powers in the body. It covers the whole ground, sub-consciousness, consciousness, and super-consciousness.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Marriage and sex and money the only living devils.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Man is the greatest being that ever can be.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
There is no motion in a straight line. A straight line infinitely projected becomes a circle.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Thoughts are living things - they travel far.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We do not progress from error to truth, but from truth to truth
Swami Vivekananda
Image
As soon as we identify ourselves with the work we do, we feel miserable but if we do not identify ourselves with it, we do not feel that misery.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The body is mortal and the mind is mortal both, being compounds, must die.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Think day and night, I am of the essence of that Supreme Existence, Knowledge, Bliss-what fear and anxiety have I? This body, mind, and intellect are all transient, and That which is beyond these is myself.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
What is the world that is to be given up? It is here. I am carrying it all with me. My own body. It is all for this body that I put my hand voluntarily upon my fellow human beings, just to keep it nice and give it a little pleasure. It is all for the body that I injure others and make mistakes.
