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
It is the nature of the brute to remain where he is (not to progress) it is the nature of man to seek good and avoid evil it is the nature of God to seek neither, but just to be eternally blissful. Let us be God!
Swami Vivekananda

The power of meditation gets us everything. If you want to get power over nature, [you can have it through meditation]. It is through the power of meditation all scientific facts are discovered today. They study the subject and forget everything, their own identity and everything, and then the great fact comes like a flash.

There is no other teacher but your own soul.
Swami Vivekananda

Nature, body, mind go to death, not we. We neither go nor come. The man Vivekananda is in nature, is born and dies. But the Self we see as Vivekananda is never born and never dies. It is the eternal and unchangeable Reality.
Swami Vivekananda

A changeable God would be no God.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
There is nothing beyond God, and the sense enjoyments are simply something through which we are passing now in the hope of getting better things.
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
The less passion there is, the better we work. The calmer we are the better for us and the more the amount of work we can do.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The truths of Upanishadas are before you. Take them up, live up to them, and the salvation of Bharat will be at hand.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
There is no chance for the welfare of the world unless the condition of woman is improved. It is not possible for a bird to fly on only one wing. There is no hope for that family or country where there is no estimation of women, where they live in sadness. For this reason, they have to be raised first.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The only saint is that soul that never weakens, faces everything, and determines to die game.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Whatever you believe, that you will be. If you believe yourselves to be sages, sages you will be tomorrow. There is nothing to obstruct you.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
All great undertakings are achieved through mighty obstacles. Keep up the deepest mental poise. Take not even the slightest notice of what puerile creatures may be saying against you.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
When an idea exclusively occupies the mind, it is transformed into an actual physical or mental state.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Out of this idea of separation between atom and atom comes all misery.
