More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Differentiation is in name and form only.
Swami Vivekananda
Dependence is misery. Independence is happiness.
Swami Vivekananda
Not even the deepest sleep will give you such a rest as meditation can. The mind goes on jumping even in deepest sleep. Just those few moments in meditation your brain has almost stopped. ... You forget the body. ... You feel such pleasure in it. You become so light. This perfect rest we will get in meditation.
Swami Vivekananda
Stand in that reverent attitude to the whole universe, and then will come perfect non attachment.
Swami Vivekananda
Do you believe in that Infinite, good Providence working in and through you? If you believe that this Omnipresent One is present in every atom, is through and through, Ota-Prota, as the Sanskrit word goes, penetrating your body, mind and soul, how can you lose heart?
Swami Vivekananda
There is, however, only one idea of duty which has been universally accepted by all mankind, of all ages and sects and countries, and that has been summed up in a Sanskrit aphorism thus: Do not injure any being not injuring any being is virtue, injuring any being is sin.
Swami Vivekananda
Man stands in materialism you and I are materialists. Our talking about God and Spirit is good but it is simply the vogue in our society to talk thus: we have learnt it parrot-like and repeat it.
Swami Vivekananda
Only by practice and non-attachment can we conquer mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Many of us do not believe in any form of idolatry but they have no right to object when others do it.
Swami Vivekananda
Think of a space in your heart, and in the midst of that space think that a flame is burning. Think of that a flame is burning. Think of that flame as your own soul and inside the flame is another effulgent light, and that is the Soul of your soul, God. Meditate upon that in the heart.
Swami Vivekananda
See here, how fresh is the air, there is the Ganga, and the Sadhus (holy men) are practising meditation, and holding lofty talks! While the moment you will go to Calcutta, you will be thinking of nasty stuff.
Swami Vivekananda
Matter is motion outside, mind is motion inside.
Swami Vivekananda
The nearer we are to God, the less we will have occasions to cry or weep. The further we are from God, the more will long faces come. The more we know God, the more misery vanishes.
Swami Vivekananda
The spirit is the cause of all our thoughts and body-action, and everything, but it is untouched by good or evil, pleasure or pain, heat of cold, and all the dualism of nature, although it lends its light to everything.
Swami Vivekananda
To the person who desires nothing and does not get entangled in desires, the manifold changes of nature are one panorama of beauty and sublimity.
Swami Vivekananda
We shall progress inch by inch.
Swami Vivekananda
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
Who makes us ignorant? We ourselves. We put our hands over our eyes and weep that it is dark.
Swami Vivekananda
I am teaching you now about it, but how many of you will practice it?
Swami Vivekananda
Why should a Man be Moral? Because this strengthens his will.
Swami Vivekananda
