More quotes by Swami Vivekananda

Image
When we come to nonattachment, then we can understand the marvelous mystery of the universe: how it is intense activity and at the same time intense peace, how it is work every moment and rest every moment.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Prana, according to the Vedanta, is the principle of life. It is like ether, an omnipresent principle and all motion, either in the body or anywhere else, is the work of this Prana. It is greater than Akasha, and through it everything lives. Prana is in the mother, in the father, in the sister, in the teacher, Prana is the knower.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Each man is divine. Each man that you see is a God by his very nature.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We want to lead mankind to the place where there is neither the Vedas, nor the Bible, nor the Koran yet this has to be done by harmonizing the Vedas, the Bible, and the Koran.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
If there be no eternal life, still the enjoyment of spiritual thoughts as ideals is keener and makes a man happier, whilst the foolery of materialism leads to competition and undue ambition and ultimate death, individual and national.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
This intelligence itself is modified into what we call egoism, and this intelligence is the cause of all the powers in the body. It covers the whole ground, sub-consciousness, consciousness, and super-consciousness.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Be not in despair, the way is very difficult, like walking on the edge of a razor yet despair not, arise, awake, and find the ideal, the goal.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
A nation is not to be judged by its weaklings called the wicked, as they are only the weeds which lag behind, but by the good, the noble, and the pure, who indicate the national life current flowing clear and vigorous.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
These tremendous contradictions in our intellect, in our knowledge, yea, in all the facts of our life face us on all sides.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
When we suffer, it is because of our own acts God is not to be blamed for it.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
There is only one sin and it is: weakness. When I was a boy, I read Milton's Paradise Lost. The only good man I had any respect for was Satan. The only saint is that person who never weakens, faces everything, and determines die game.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
If you can think that infinite power, infinite knowledge and indomitable energy lie within you, and if you can bring out that power, you also can become like me.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
All motion, either in the body or anywhere else, is the work of this Prana.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Man is not mind, he is soul.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The gift of knowledge is the highest gift in the world.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The perfect man sees nothing but God.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
In nature alone are forms. That which is not of nature cannot have any forms, fine or gross. It must be formless.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Cut the bondage of all worldly affections go beyond laziness and all care as to what becomes of you.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
One ounce of practice is worth a thousand pounds of theory.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
It is nature that is changing, not the soul of man. This never changes.
Swami Vivekananda
