More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
You gain nothing by becoming cowards.
Swami Vivekananda
Don't look back—forward, infinite energy, infinite enthusiasm, infinite daring, and infinite patience—then alone can great deeds be accomplished.
Swami Vivekananda
Ignorance is death, Knowledge is life.
Swami Vivekananda
Whatever you are doing, put your whole mind on it. If you are shooting, your mind should be only on the target. Then you will never miss. If you are learning your lessons, think only of the lesson. In India boys and girls are taught to do this.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion is the peculiarity of the growth of the Indian mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Stamping down the weakness of mind and heart, stand up, saying, I am possessed of heroism, I am possessed of a steady intellect... Never allow weakness to overtake your mind.
Swami Vivekananda
This Maya is everywhere. It is terrible. Yet we have to work through it. The man who says that he will work when the world has become all good and then he will enjoy bliss is as likely to succeed as the man who sits beside the Ganga and says, I will ford the river when all the water has run into the ocean.
Swami Vivekananda
All practice or worship is only for taking off this veil. When that will go, you will find that the Sun of Absolute Knowledge is shining in Its own lustre.
Swami Vivekananda
In everything we do, the serpent ego is rising up.
Swami Vivekananda
This life is a tremendous assertion of freedom
Swami Vivekananda
The Vedas give information on various subjects. They have come together and form one book. And in later times, when other subjects were separated from religion - when astronomy and astrology were taken out of religion - these subjects, being connected with the Vedas and being ancient, were considered very holy.
Swami Vivekananda
Superhuman power is not strong enough.
Swami Vivekananda
Life in this world is an attempt to see God.
Swami Vivekananda
Have fire and spread all over. Work, work. Be the servant while leading, be unselfish, and never listen to one friend in private accusing another. Have infinite patience, and success is yours.
Swami Vivekananda
It is not God's fault. It is our fault that we suffer. Whatever we sow we reap.
Swami Vivekananda
Hindu religion does not consist in struggles and attempts to believe a certain doctrine or dogma, but in realizing not in believing, but in being and becoming.
Swami Vivekananda
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
The gift of knowledge is the highest gift in the world.
Swami Vivekananda
There is no virtue higher than non-injury.
Swami Vivekananda
Do not say, ‘You are bad’ say only, ‘You are good’, but be better!
Swami Vivekananda
