When the last moment arrives, praise and blame will be the same to you, to me, and to others. We are here to work, and will have to leave all when the call comes.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Strength and manliness are virtue weakness and cowardice are sin.
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
Even books are nurses, medicines are nurses. But we must work to bring about the time when man shall recognise his mastery over his own body. Herbs and medicines have power over us as long as we allow them when we become strong, these external methods are no more necessary.
Swami Vivekananda
God is cruel and not cruel. He is all being and not being at the same time. Hence He is all contradictions. Nature also is nothing but a mass of contradictions.
Swami Vivekananda
There is no power on earth which can be kept long confined within a narrow limit. It cannot be kept compressed too long to allow of expansion at a subsequent period.
Swami Vivekananda
Man as Atman is really free as man he is bound, changed by every physical condition.
Swami Vivekananda
Hindu Dharma is the quintessence of our national life, hold fast to it if you want your country to survive, or else you would be wiped out in three generations.
Swami Vivekananda
And what causes fear? Ignorance of our own nature.
Swami Vivekananda
There is this difference between the love taught by Christianity and that taught by Hinduism: Christianity teaches us to love our neighbours as we should wish them to love us Hinduism asks us to love them as ourselves, in fact to see ourselves in them.
Swami Vivekananda
So long as the millions live in hunger and ignorance, I hold every man a traitor who, having been educated at their expense, pays not the least heed to them.
Swami Vivekananda
Infinite patience, infinite purity, and infinite perseverance are the secret of success in a good cause.
Swami Vivekananda
All real progress must be slow.
Swami Vivekananda
What is the world that is to be given up? It is here. I am carrying it all with me. My own body. It is all for this body that I put my hand voluntarily upon my fellow human beings, just to keep it nice and give it a little pleasure. It is all for the body that I injure others and make mistakes.
Swami Vivekananda
Man is man so long as he is struggling to rise above nature, and this nature is both internal and external.
Swami Vivekananda
The great lesson is, that unity is behind all. Call it God, Love, Spirit. Allah, Jehovah - it is the same unity that animates all life from the lowest animal to the noblest man.
Swami Vivekananda
All misery and pain come from attachment.
Swami Vivekananda
Know that every time you feel weak, you not only hurt yourself but also the cause. Infinite faith and strength are the only conditions of success.
Swami Vivekananda
If there is one word that you find coming out like a bomb from the Upanishads, bursting like a bombshell upon masses of ignorance, it is the word fearlessness.
Swami Vivekananda
A man could be in a throne and have no attachment at all another one could be in rags and have many attachments.
Swami Vivekananda
Have charity towards all beings. Pity those who are in distress. Love all creatures. Do not be jealous of anyone. Look not to the faults of others.
Swami Vivekananda
