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
If I am immune against all anger, I never feel angry.
Swami Vivekananda
The one who actually succeeds in making himself believe that he is having a good time is the man of splendid physical health.
Swami Vivekananda
Karma is the eternal assertion of human freedom. . . . Our thoughts, our words, and deeds are the threads of the net which we throw around ourselves.
Swami Vivekananda
This is the great fact: strength is life.
Swami Vivekananda
Books are only made so that they may point the way to a higher life but no good results unless the path is trodden with unflinching steps!
Swami Vivekananda
The vapour becomes snow, then water, then Ganga but when it is vapour, there is no Ganga, and when it is water, we think of no vapour in it. The idea of creation or change is inseparably connected with will. So long as we perceive this world in motion, we have to conceive will behind it.
Swami Vivekananda
If the mind is pleased with praise, it will be displeased with blame.
Swami Vivekananda
Great occasions rouse even the lowest of human beings to some kind of greatness, but he alone is the really great man whose character is great always, the same wherever he be.
Swami Vivekananda
First, believe in the world - that there is meaning behind everything.
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
Marriage is the truest goal for ninety-nine per cent of the human race, and they will live the happiest life as soon as they have learnt and are ready to abide by the eternal lesson - that we are bound to bear and forbear and that life to every one must be a compromise.
Swami Vivekananda
All motion in this universe is in the form of waves, successively rising and falling.
Swami Vivekananda
There is but one temple - the body. It is the only temple that ever existed.
Swami Vivekananda
Purity, patience and perseverance are the three essentials to success and above all love.
Swami Vivekananda
I do not believe in eternal progress, that we are growing on ever and ever in a straight line. It is too nonsensical to believe. There is no motion in a straight line. A straight line infinitely projected becomes a circle. The force sent out will complete the circle and return to its starting place.
Swami Vivekananda
We are the living devils.
Swami Vivekananda
Well has it been said that man is the only animal that naturally looks upwards every other animal naturally looks down. That looking upward and going upward and seeking perfection are what is called salvation and the sooner a man begins to go higher, the sooner he raises himself towards this idea of truth as salvation.
Swami Vivekananda
He who has conquered the internal nature controls the whole universe it becomes his servant.
Swami Vivekananda
Why should I become angry just because another man has made a fool of himself. Do thou resist not evil! That is what the lovers of God say. Whatever the world does, wherever it goes, has no influence [on them].
Swami Vivekananda
