More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all good things will be added unto you. Follow God and you shall have whatever you desire.
Swami Vivekananda
Be moral. Be brave. Be a heart-whole man, strictly moral, brave unto desperation. Don't bother your head with religious theories. Cowards only sin, brave men never, no, not even in mind.
Swami Vivekananda
The law of Karma is the law of causation.
Swami Vivekananda
Calm and silent and steady work, and no newspaper humbug, no name-making, you must always remember.
Swami Vivekananda
The principles of the Vedanta not only should be preached everywhere in India, but also outside. Our thought must enter into the make-up of the minds of every nation, not through writings, but through persons.
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
An atheist can be charitable but not religious. But the religious man must be charitable.
Swami Vivekananda
Until higher institutions have been evolved, any attempt to break the old ones will be disastrous.
Swami Vivekananda
Ignorance is death, Knowledge is life.
Swami Vivekananda
We first observe facts, then generalise, and then draw conclusions or principles.
Swami Vivekananda
Man's free agency is not of the mind, for that is bound. There is no freedom there.
Swami Vivekananda
Internal and external nature, mind and matter, are in time and space, and are bound by the law of causation.
Swami Vivekananda
He who has no faith in himself can never have faith in God.
Swami Vivekananda
He who always thinks himself as weak will never become strong, but he who knows himself to be a lion, rushes out from the worlds meshes, as a lion from its cage.
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
The whole life is a succession of dreams. My ambition is to be a conscious dreamer, that is all.
Swami Vivekananda
Salvation never will come through hope of reward.
Swami Vivekananda
What we want is progress, development, realisation.
Swami Vivekananda
Is there any sex-distinction in the Atman (Self)? Out with the differentiation between man and woman—all is Atman! Give up the identification with the body, and stand up!
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
