More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
The attempt is to kill the false I, so that the real I, the Lord, will reign. I the Lord thy God am a jealous God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me, say the Hebrew scriptures.
Swami Vivekananda
Be an atheist if you want, but do not believe in anything unquestioningly.
Swami Vivekananda
The mistake is that we cling to the body when it is the spirit that is really immortal.
Swami Vivekananda
Always discriminate-your body, your house, the people and the world are all absolutely unreal like a dream. Always think that the body is only an inert instrument. And the Atman within is your real nature.
Swami Vivekananda
The sum total or Ishwara may be said to be All-good, Almighty, and Omniscient. These are obvious qualities, and need no argument to prove, from the very fact of totality.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion is not in fault.
Swami Vivekananda
If the mind is pleased with praise, it will be displeased with blame.
Swami Vivekananda
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
Matter is motion outside, mind is motion inside.
Swami Vivekananda
Knowledge can only be got in one way, the way of experience there is no other way to know.
Swami Vivekananda
The ego of man and woman is the soul. If the soul is independent, how then can it be isolated from the infinite whole?
Swami Vivekananda
Your way is the best for you, but that is no sign it is the best for another.
Swami Vivekananda
Self-love is the first teacher of self-renunciation.
Swami Vivekananda
Ishvara is the highest manifestation of the Absolute Reality, or in other words, the highest possible reading of the Absolute by the human mind. Creation is eternal, and so also is Ishvara.
Swami Vivekananda
Nothing else is necessary but these - love, sincerity, and patience.
Swami Vivekananda
One thing I must tell you. Idolatry in India does not mean anything horrible. It is not the mother of harlots.
Swami Vivekananda
Consciously or unconsciously, we are all striving for perfection. Every being must attain to it.
Swami Vivekananda
To weep is a sign of weakness, of bondage.
Swami Vivekananda
Perfect sincerity, holiness, gigantic intellect, and all-conquering will. Let only a handful of men work with these, and the whole world will be revolutionized.
Swami Vivekananda
Each nation has its own peculiar method of work. Some work through politics, some through social reforms, some through other lines. With us, religion is the only ground along which we can move.
Swami Vivekananda
