It's the coward who says, 'This is fate'...It's the strong who stands up & says 'I will make my fate'
Swami Vivekananda
So long as you have faith in your Guru, nothing will be able to obstruct your way.
Swami Vivekananda
Delusion will vanish as the light becomes more and more effulgent, load after load of ignorance will vanish, and then will come a time when all else has disappeared and the sun alone shines.
Swami Vivekananda
Jnana, bhakti, yoga and karma - these are the four paths which lead to spiritual freedom. One must follow the path for which one is best suited. But in this age, special stress should be laid on karma yoga.
Swami Vivekananda
Wait with patience and love and strength. If helpers are not ready now, they will come in time. Why should we be in a hurry? The real working force of all great work is in its almost unperceived beginnings.
Swami Vivekananda
The mind has to be gradually and systematically brought under control.
Swami Vivekananda
A certain motion becomes understood when it is referred to a force certain sensations, to matter certain changes outside, to law certain changes in thought, to mind certain order singly, to causation - and joined to time, to law.
Swami Vivekananda
We want to know in order to make ourselves free. That is our life: one universal cry for freedom.
Swami Vivekananda
It is the want that creates the body.
Swami Vivekananda
That is good. It is a law of nature. That is the way with all founders of religion. Without persecution superior ideas cannot penetrate into the heart of society.
Swami Vivekananda
To give up the world is to forget the ego, to know it not at all - living in the body, but not of it.
Swami Vivekananda
In these days of intellectual awakening and steadily asserting public opinion, the holy places of the Hindus, their condition, and method of work have not escaped tile keen eye of criticism and this city, being the holy of holies to all Hindus, has not failed to attract its full share of censure.
Swami Vivekananda
The world has not gone one step beyond idolatry yet.
Swami Vivekananda
Here in this blessed land, the foundation, the backbone, the life-centre is religion and religion alone.
Swami Vivekananda
The Absolute is the material of both God and man.
Swami Vivekananda
The cause of today is the effect of the past and the cause for the future.
Swami Vivekananda
If a piece of burning charcoal be placed on a man’s head, see how he struggles to throw it off. Similar will be the struggle for freedom of those who really understand that they are slaves of nature.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion is not in fault.
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
All growth, progress, well - being, or degradation is but relative.
Swami Vivekananda
