More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
What is salvation? To live with God. Where? Anywhere. Here this moment. One moment in infinite time is quite as good as any other moment.
Swami Vivekananda
As soon as I think that I am a little body, I want to preserve it, to protect it, to keep it nice, at the expense of other bodies then you and I become separate.
Swami Vivekananda
There is no chance for the welfare of the world unless the condition of woman is improved. It is not possible for a bird to fly on only one wing. There is no hope for that family or country where there is no estimation of women, where they live in sadness. For this reason, they have to be raised first.
Swami Vivekananda
It is not God's fault. It is our fault that we suffer. Whatever we sow we reap.
Swami Vivekananda
The body and mind are dependent.
Swami Vivekananda
Think of a space in your heart, and in the midst of that space think that a flame is burning. Think of that a flame is burning. Think of that flame as your own soul and inside the flame is another effulgent light, and that is the Soul of your soul, God. Meditate upon that in the heart.
Swami Vivekananda
Spirituality is the science of the Soul.
Swami Vivekananda
Every time you meditate you will keep your growth.
Swami Vivekananda
Calm and silent and steady work, and no newspaper humbug, no name-making, you must always remember.
Swami Vivekananda
The world has not gone one step beyond idolatry yet.
Swami Vivekananda
Know that the mind which is born to succeed joins itself to a determined will and perseveres.
Swami Vivekananda
Perfection can never be attained by work.
Swami Vivekananda
Your country requires heroes be heroes your duty is to go on working, and then everything will follow of itself.
Swami Vivekananda
That which is selfish is immoral, and that which is unselfish is moral.
Swami Vivekananda
What can be my highest idea of forgiveness? Nothing beyond myself. Which of you can jump out of your own bodies? Which of you can jump out of your own minds? Not one of you.
Swami Vivekananda
Be grateful that the poor man is there, so that by making a gift to him you are able to help yourself
Swami Vivekananda
The Heart and core of everything here is good, that whatever may be the surface waves, deep down and underlying everything, there is an infinite basis of Goodness and Love.
Swami Vivekananda
We should cultivate the optimistic temperament, and endeavour to see the good that dwells in everything. If we sit down and lament over the imperfection of our bodies and our minds, we profit nothing it is the heroic endeavour to subdue adverse circumstances that carries our spirit upward.
Swami Vivekananda
Truth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true.
Swami Vivekananda
Perfection is always infinite. We are the Infinite already. You and I, and all beings, are trying to manifest that infinity.
Swami Vivekananda
