More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Take courage and work on. Patience and steady work- this is the only way.
Swami Vivekananda
Those who die, merely suffering the woes of life like cats and dogs, are they men?
Swami Vivekananda
It is always for greater joy that you give up the lesser. This is practical religion-the attainment of freedom, renunciation. Renounce the lower so that you may get the higher. Renounce! Renounce! Sacrifice! Give up! Not for zero. Not for nothing. But to get the higher.
Swami Vivekananda
This is the one great idea to understand that our power is already ours, our salvation is already within us.
Swami Vivekananda
One ounce of practice is worth a thousand pounds of theory.
Swami Vivekananda
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
To be good and to do good-that is the whole of religion.
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
The book one must read to learn natural sciences is the book of nature. The book from which to learn religion is your own mind and heart.
Swami Vivekananda
Every time you think of doing some charity, you think there is some beggar to take your charity. If you say, O Lord, let the world be full of charitable people! - you mean, let the world be full of beggars also. Let the world be full of good works - let the world be full of misery. This is out-and-out slavishness!
Swami Vivekananda
Your way is the best for you, but that is no sign it is the best for another.
Swami Vivekananda
All these ideas such as astrology, although there may be a grain of truth in them, should be avoided.
Swami Vivekananda
The world has not gone one step beyond idolatry yet.
Swami Vivekananda
Praise and blame, good and bad, even heat and cold, must be equally acceptable to us.
Swami Vivekananda
The benefits of knowledge can only be realized in practice.
Swami Vivekananda
From attachment comes longing, and longing breeds anger. From anger comes delusion, and from delusion, confused memory. From confused memory comes the ruin of discrimination and from the ruin of discrimination, a man perishes.
Swami Vivekananda
It is the want that creates the body.
Swami Vivekananda
Even if our every attempt is a failure, and we bleed and are torn asunder, yet, through all this, we have to preserve our heart - we must assert our Godhead in the midst of all these difficulties.
Swami Vivekananda
The moment you think creed and form and ceremony the be-all and end-all, then you are in bondage. Take part in them to help others, but take care they do not become a bondage.
Swami Vivekananda
You are incarnations of God, all of you. You are incarnations of the Almighty, Omnipresent, Divine Principle. You may laugh at me now, but the time will come when you will understand. You must. Nobody will be left behind.
Swami Vivekananda
