More quotes by 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
My faith is in the younger generation, the modern generation. Out of them will come my workers. They will work out the whole problem like lions
Swami Vivekananda
Man in his true nature is substance, soul, spirit.
Swami Vivekananda
. . . Wait, my child, wait and work on. Patience, patience. . . . .
Swami Vivekananda
Have faith in yourself. You people were once the Vedic Rishis. Only, you have come in different forms, that's all. I see it clear as daylight that you all have infinite power in you. Rouse that up arise, arise - apply yourselves heart and soul, gird up your loins.
Swami Vivekananda
No great work can be achieved by humbug. It is through love, a passion for truth, and tremendous energy, that all undertakings are accomplished.
Swami Vivekananda
Ask nothing want nothing in return. Give what you have to give it will come back to you, but do not think of that now.
Swami Vivekananda
With eternal faith in Him, set fire to the mountain of misery that has been heaped upon India for ages - and it shall be burned down.
Swami Vivekananda
This universe is the wreckage of the infinite on the shores of the finite.
Swami Vivekananda
The power of purity-it is a definite power.
Swami Vivekananda
Take courage and work on. Patience and steady work - this is the only way. Go on remember - patience and purity and courage and steady work. . . . So long as you are pure, and true to your principles, you will never fail.
Swami Vivekananda
I am indebted to my mother for the efflorescence of my knowledge.
Swami Vivekananda
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
Books never make religions, but religions make books. We must not forget that. No book ever created God, but God inspired all the great books. And no book ever created a soul.
Swami Vivekananda
The difference between architecture and building is that the former expresses an idea, while the latter is merely a structure built on economical principles. The value of matter depends solely on its capacities of expressing ideas.
Swami Vivekananda
Have faith that you are all, my brave lads, born to do great things! Let not the barks of puppies frighten you, no, not even the thunderbolts of heaven, but stand up and work!
Swami Vivekananda
To realize the spirit as spirit is practical religion. Everything else is good so far as it leads to this one grand idea.
Swami Vivekananda
I am not talking about what every one of us means by love. Little namby-pamby love is lovely. Man rails in love with woman, and woman goes to die for man. The chances are that in five minutes John kicks Jane, and Jane kicks John. This is a materialism and no love at all. If John could really love Jane, he would be perfect that moment.
Swami Vivekananda
Go and preach to all, 'Arise, awake, sleep no more: within each of you there is the power to remove all wants and all miseries. Believe this, and that power will be manifested.
Swami Vivekananda
Infinite patience, infinite purity, and infinite perseverance are the secret of success in a good cause.
Swami Vivekananda
