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).

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda
The road to salvation is through truth.
Swami Vivekananda
Every individual has in himself perfection. It lies within the dark recesses of his physical being.

Swami Vivekananda
In the English character, the give and take policy, the business principle of the trader, is principally inherent.
Swami Vivekananda
We want Shraddhâ, we want faith in our own selves. Strength is life, weakness is death. 'We are the Âtman, deathless and free pure, pure by nature. Can we ever commit any sin? Impossible!' - such a faith is needed. Such a faith makes men of us, makes gods of us. It is by losing this idea of Shraddha that the country has gone to ruin.
Swami Vivekananda
Stand upon the Atman, then only can we truly love the world. Take a very, very high stand knowing our universal nature, we must look with perfect calmness upon all the panorama of the world.
Swami Vivekananda
This is a great fact: strength is life weakness is death. Strength is felicity, life eternal, immortal weakness is constant strain and misery, weakness is death.
Swami Vivekananda
Worship of society and popular opinion is idolatry.
Swami Vivekananda
Be grateful that the poor man is there, so that by making a gift to him you are able to help yourself
Swami Vivekananda
The Christians believe that Jesus Christ died to save man. With you it is belief in a doctrine, and this belief constitutes your salvation. With us doctrine has nothing whatever to do with salvation. Each one may believe in whatever doctrine he likes or in no doctrine.
Swami Vivekananda
Never turn back to see the result of what you have done. Give all to the Lord and go on, and think not of it.
Swami Vivekananda
Perfect life is a contradiction in terms. Therefore we must always expect to find things not up to our highest ideal. Knowing this, we are bound to make the best of everything.
Swami Vivekananda
So long as even a single dog in my country is without food, my whole religion will be to feed it.
Swami Vivekananda
Seeing a cat loving her kittens stand and pray. God has become manifest there literally believe this. Repeat I am Thine, I am Thine, for we can see God everywhere. Do not seek for Him, just see Him.
Swami Vivekananda
There is no salvation for man until he sees God, realises his own soul.
Swami Vivekananda
May the Lord ordain that your son becomes a man, and never a coward!
Swami Vivekananda
The way to God is the opposite to that of the world. And to few, very few, are given to have God and mammon at the same time.
Swami Vivekananda
