Image
I am neither the mind, nor the intellect, nor the ego, nor the mind-stuff
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Man's free agency is not of the mind, for that is bound. There is no freedom there.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We want to worship a living God. I have not seen anything but God all my life, nor have you... He is everywhere, saying, I am. The moment you feel I am, you are conscious of Existence. Where shall we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Marriage is an institution very safely guarded.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I have a message for the world, which I will deliver without fear and care for the future. To the reformers I will point out that I am a greater reformer than any one of them. They want to reform only little bits. I want root-and-branch reform.
Swami Vivekananda

Always remember that renunciation is the root idea. Unless one is initiated into this idea, not even Brahma and the World - gods have the power to attain Mukti
Swami Vivekananda
Image
That which is selfish is immoral, and that which is unselfish is moral.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Yes, the words of the Mother can be heard as clearly as we hear one another. But one requires a fine nerve to hear Mother's words.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Say, I can do everything . Even if poison of a snake is powerless if you can firmly deny it.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The seeker's silence is the loudest form of prayer.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Only man makes Karma.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Whatsoever has form must be the result of combinations of particles and requires something else behind it to move it.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
One possessing Vairagya does not understand by Atman the individual ego but the All-pervading Lord, residing as the Self and Internal Ruler in all. He is perceivable by all as the sum total.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Out of this idea of separation between atom and atom comes all misery.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
No doubt it is an evil to be bound by laws, but it is necessary at the immature stage to be guided by rules in other words, as the Master used to say that the sapling must be hedged round, and so on.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
To work with undaunted energy! What fear! Who is powerful enough to thwart you.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
A Sannyasin cannot belong to any religion, for his is a life of independent thought, which draws from all religions his is a life of realisation, not merely of theory or belief, much less of dogma.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
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
Image
Fear is death, fear is sin, fear is hell, fear is unrighteousness, and fear is wrong life. All the negative thoughts and ideas that are in the world have proceeded from this evil spirit of fear.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
All real progress must be slow.
