Image
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
Image
You must have an iron will, if you would cross the ocean. You must be strong enough to pierce mountains.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
He whom the sages have been seeking in all these places is in our own hearts the voice that you heard was right, says Vedanta, but the direction you gave to the voice was wrong.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
If in this hell of a world one can bring a little joy and peace even for a day into the heart of a single person, that much alone is true this I have learnt after suffering all my life all else is mere moonshine.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The correct meaning of the statement The Vedas are beginningless and eternal is that the law or truth revealed by them is permanent and changeless.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
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
Image
God is one the paths to reach him (religions) are many - just as different rivers, originating in different mountains, traverse different paths, flowing straight or crooked, and at last join the ocean. He is the one Lord of all, the one Soul of all souls.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
When death is so certain, it is better to die for a good cause.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Man's experience in the world is to enable him to get out of its whirlpool.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Worship of society and popular opinion is idolatry.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
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
Image
The essence of our Faith consists simply in this freedom of the Ishta.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
In a day, when you don't come across any problems - you can be sure that you are travelling in a wrong path
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Meditation is the means of unification of the subject and object. Meditate.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Feel, my children, feel feel for the poor, the ignorant, the downtrodden feel till the heart stops and the brain reels and you think you will go mad then pour the soul out at the feet of the Lord, and then will come power, help and indomitable energy.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Man only remains hypnotised with the false idea of an ego. When this ghost is off from us, all dreams vanish, and then it is found that the one Self only exists from the highest Being to a blade of grass.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
A sapling must be hedged about for protection, but when it becomes a tree, a hedge would be a hindrance. So there is no need to criticise and condemn the old forms.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
This life is a tremendous assertion of freedom
Swami Vivekananda
Image
This external worship of images has, however, been described in all our Shastras as the lowest of all the low forms of worship. But that does not mean that it is a wrong thing to do.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The disciple must have great power of endurance. Bear all evil and misery without one thought of unhappiness, resistance, remedy, or retaliation. That is true endurance, and that you must acquire.
Swami Vivekananda
