More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Believe in yourself and the world will be at your feet.
Swami Vivekananda
In this external world, which is full of finite things, it is impossible to see and find the Infinite. The Infinite must be sought in that alone which is infinite, and the only thing infinite about us is that which is within us, our own soul. Neither the body, nor the mind, nor even our thoughts, nor the world we see around us, is infinite.
Swami Vivekananda
...oneness is the secret to everything.
Swami Vivekananda
The Hindus have a peculiar slovenliness in business matters, not being sufficiently methodical and strict in keeping accounts etc.
Swami Vivekananda
The Yogi must always practice.
Swami Vivekananda
By doing well the duty which is nearest to us, the duty which is in our hands now, we make ourselves stronger and improving our strength in this manner step by step, we may reach a state in which it shall be our privilege to do the most coveted and honored duties in life and in society.
Swami Vivekananda
Those who work at a thing heart and soul not only achieve success in it but through their absorption in that they also realize the supreme truth-Brahman. Those who work at a thing with their whole heart receive help from God.
Swami Vivekananda
What we want is progress, development, realisation.
Swami Vivekananda
I am in every religion as the thread through a string of pearls. Wherever thou seest extraordinary holiness and extraordinary power raising and purifying humanity, know thou that I am there.
Swami Vivekananda
Perfection can never be attained by work.
Swami Vivekananda
The test of progress is the amount of renunciation that one has attained.
Swami Vivekananda
Cowards only sin, brave men never, no, not even in mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Even the lowest of the low have the Atman (Soul) inside, which never dies and never is born, immortal, without beginning or end, the all pure, omnipotent and omnipresent Atman!
Swami Vivekananda
In whatever name or form they are offered, all these flowers are laid at God's feet, for He is the one Lord of all, the one Soul of all souls.
Swami Vivekananda
My ideal, indeed, can be put into a few words, and that is: to preach unto mankind their divinity, and how to make it manifest in every movement of life.
Swami Vivekananda
To his enemies the householder must be a hero. Them he must resist. That is the duty of the householder. He must not sit down in a corner and weep, and talk nonsense about non-resistance. If he does not show himself a hero to his enemies he has not done his duty.
Swami Vivekananda
Weakness is constant strain and misery: weakness is death.
Swami Vivekananda
This is the one great idea to understand that our power is already ours, our salvation is already within us.
Swami Vivekananda
He who asserts he is free, shall be free. He who says he is bound, bound he shall remain.
Swami Vivekananda
Marriage or non-marriage, good or evil, learning or ignorance, any of these is justified, if it leads to the goal.
Swami Vivekananda
