Quote

The one theme of the Vedanta philosophy is the search after unity. The Hindu mind does not care for the particular it is always after the general, nay, the universal. what is it that by knowing which everything else is to be known. That is the one search.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda

Image
The Absolute and the Infinite can become this universe only by limitation.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Marriage is the truest goal for ninety-nine per cent of the human race, and they will live the happiest life as soon as they have learnt and are ready to abide by the eternal lesson - that we are bound to bear and forbear and that life to every one must be a compromise.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
You cannot take away one atom of matter or one foot-pound of force. You cannot add to the universe one atom of matter or one foot-pound of force. As such, evolution does not come out of zero then, where does it come from? From previous involution.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
In every attempt there will be one set of men who will applaud, and another who will pick holes. Go on doing your own work, what need have you to reply to any party?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Accumulate power in silence and become a dynamo of spirituality.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The householder must always please his wife with money, clothes, love and faith and never do anything to disturb her. That man who has succeeded in getting the love of a chaste wife has succeeded in his religion and has all the virtues.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Stand upon the Atman, then only can we truly love the world. Take a very, very high stand knowing our universal nature, we must look with perfect calmness upon all the panorama of the world.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Paris is the fountain-head of European civilisation, as Gomukhi is of the Ganga.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The more we grow in Love, Virtue and Holiness, the more we see Love, Virtue and Holiness outside.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Take courage and work on. Patience and steady work - this is the only way. Go on remember - patience and purity and courage and steady work. . . . So long as you are pure, and true to your principles, you will never fail.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
In everything, there are two kinds of development-analytical and synthetical. In the former the Hindus excel other nations. In the latter they are nil.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
All motion, either in the body or anywhere else, is the work of this Prana.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The history of the world is the history of a few men who had faith in themselves. That faith calls out the divinity within. You can do anything. You fail only when you do not strive sufficiently to manifest infinite power. As soon as a man or a nation loses faith, death comes.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The Absolute God of the universe, the creator, preserver, and destroyer of the universe, is impersonal principle.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
To be good and to do good-that is the whole of religion.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We want to know in order to make ourselves free. That is our life: one universal cry for freedom.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The body is the external coating and the mind is the internal coating of the Atman who is the real perceiver, the real enjoyer, the being in the body who is working the body by means of the internal organ or the mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The Heart and core of everything here is good, that whatever may be the surface waves, deep down and underlying everything, there is an infinite basis of Goodness and Love.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
My faith is in the younger generation, the modern generation. Out of them will come my workers. They will work out the whole problem like lions
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We should cultivate the optimistic temperament, and endeavour to see the good that dwells in everything. If we sit down and lament over the imperfection of our bodies and our minds, we profit nothing it is the heroic endeavour to subdue adverse circumstances that carries our spirit upward.
Swami Vivekananda
