More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Let us not depend upon the world for pleasure.
Swami Vivekananda
Gita and Ganga constitute the essence of Hinduism one its theory and the other its practice.
Swami Vivekananda
. . . Wait, my child, wait and work on. Patience, patience. . . . .
Swami Vivekananda
Each nation has a main current in life in India it is religion. Make it strong and the waters on either side must move along with it.
Swami Vivekananda
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
Freedom can never be reached by the weak. Throw away all weakness. Tell your body that it is strong, tell your mind that it is strong, and have unbounded faith and hope in yourself.
Swami Vivekananda
Books are infinite in number and time is short. The secret of knowledge is to take what is essential. Take that and try to live up to it.
Swami Vivekananda
The power of concentration is the only key to the treasure-house of knowledge.
Swami Vivekananda
Everything progresses in waves. The march of civilization, the progression of worlds, is in waves. All human activities likewise progress in waves - art, literature, science, religion.
Swami Vivekananda
Children of those ancient Aryans, through the grace of the Lord may you have the same pride, may that faith in your ancestors come into your blood, may it become a part and parcel of your lives, may it work towards the salvation of the world!
Swami Vivekananda
Be a hero. Always say, 'I have no fear.' Tell this to everyone - 'Have no fear.'
Swami Vivekananda
Evil company is always to be shunned because it leads to lust and anger, illusion, forgetfulness of the goal, destruction of the will (lack of perseverance), and destruction of everything. (Narada Bhakti Sutra)
Swami Vivekananda
God is pure, and the same to all.
Swami Vivekananda
To realize the spirit as spirit is practical religion. Everything else is good so far as it leads to this one grand idea.
Swami Vivekananda
You know it already that each one of us is the effect of the infinite past the child is ushered into the world not as something flashing from the hands of nature, as poets delight so much to depict, but he has the burden of an infinite past for good or evil he comes to work out his own past deeds
Swami Vivekananda
Religion is the one and sole interest of the people of India.
Swami Vivekananda
The difference between architecture and building is that the former expresses an idea, while the latter is merely a structure built on economical principles. The value of matter depends solely on its capacities of expressing ideas.
Swami Vivekananda
In Buddha we had the great, universal heart and infinite patience, making religion practical and bringing it to everyone's door.
Swami Vivekananda
The power is with the silent ones, who only live and love and then withdraw their personality. They never say “me” and “mine” they are only blessed in being instruments
Swami Vivekananda
The guide, the guru, the leader, the teacher, has passed away the boy, the student, the servant, is left behind.
Swami Vivekananda
