More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
You and I and everything in the universe are that Absolute, not parts, but the whole. You are the whole of that Absolute, and so are all others, because the idea of part cannot come into it.
Swami Vivekananda
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
Friends or foes, they are all instruments in Her hands to help us work out our own karma, through pleasure or pain. As such, 'Mother' bless all.
Swami Vivekananda
Man is guided by the stomach. He walks and the stomach goes first and the head afterwards. Have you not seen that? It will take ages for the head to go first.
Swami Vivekananda
As thou thinkest, so art thou.
Swami Vivekananda
The infinite library of the Universe is in your mind.
Swami Vivekananda
One way for attaining Bhakti is by repeating the name of God a number of times. Mantras have effect: the mere repetition of words.... To obtain Bhakti, seek the company of holy men who have Bhakti, and read books like the Gita and the Imitation of Christ always think of the attributes of God.
Swami Vivekananda
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
As soon as we identify ourselves with the work we do, we feel miserable but if we do not identify ourselves with it, we do not feel that misery.
Swami Vivekananda
The greatest sin is to think yourself weak
Swami Vivekananda
If the mind is pleased with praise, it will be displeased with blame.
Swami Vivekananda
The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.
Swami Vivekananda
Man is the apex of the only world we can ever know.
Swami Vivekananda
Know that every time you feel weak, you not only hurt yourself but also the cause. Infinite faith and strength are the only conditions of success.
Swami Vivekananda
He whose book of the heart has been opened needs no other books.
Swami Vivekananda
In every attempt there are many obstacles to cope with, but gradually the path becomes smooth.
Swami Vivekananda
Man is the nearest approach to Brahman.
Swami Vivekananda
My children, the secret of religion lies not in theories but in practice.
Swami Vivekananda
Never talk about the faults of others, no matter how bad they may be. Nothing is ever gained by that. You never help one by talking about his fault you do him an injury, and injure yourself as well.
Swami Vivekananda
He who wants to become a Bhakta must be strong, must be healthy.
Swami Vivekananda
