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 you think that you are bound, you remain bound you make your own bondage. If you know that you are free, you are free this moment. This is knowledge, knowledge of freedom. Freedom is the goal of all nature.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
One atom in this universe cannot move without dragging the whole world along with it. There cannot be any progress without the whole world following in the wake, and it is becoming every day dearer that the solution of any problem can never be attained on racial, or national, or narrow grounds.
Swami Vivekananda

Turn thy gaze inward, wherein resides the Supreme Self.
Swami Vivekananda

Every one wants to command, and no one wants to obey and this is owing to the absence of that wonderful brahmacharya system of yore. First, learn to obey. The command will come by itself. Always first learn to be a servant, and then you will be fit to be a master.

None will be able to resist truth and love and sincerity. Are you sincere? Unselfish even unto death, and loving? Then fear not, not even death.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
May I be born again and again, and suffer thousands of miseries so that I may worship the only God that exists, the only God I believe in, the sum total of all souls-and, above all, my God the wicked, my God the miserable, my God the poor of all races, of all species, is the special object of my worship.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Men may have given millions of dollars and fed rats and cats, as some do in India. They say that men can take care of themselves, but the poor animals cannot. . .
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The wind of divine grace is always blowing. You just need to spread your sail. Whenever you do anything, do it with your whole heart concentrated on it. Think day and night, I am of the essence of that Supreme Being-Consciousness-Bliss. What fear and anxiety have I?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
To see God is the one goal. Power is not the goal.
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
