Quote

Even the least work done for others awakens the power within even thinking the least good of others gradually instills into the heart the strength of a lion.

Image
Turn thy gaze inward, wherein resides the Supreme Self.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
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
Image
No two persons have the same mind or the same body.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The vapour becomes snow, then water, then Ganga but when it is vapour, there is no Ganga, and when it is water, we think of no vapour in it. The idea of creation or change is inseparably connected with will. So long as we perceive this world in motion, we have to conceive will behind it.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Through the grace of the Almighty Power, it is sure to manifest itself in time.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
As long as we believe ourselves to be even the least different from God, fear remains with us but when we know ourselves to be the One, fear goes of what can we be afraid.?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Know full well that patience is the best means of succeeds.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
If Jesus Christ was not perfect, then the religion bearing his name falls to the ground.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
True religion comes not front the teaching of men or the reading of books it is the awakening of the spirit within us, consequent upon pure and heroic action.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Chemistry ceases to improve when one element is found from which all others are deductible. Physics ceases to progress when one force is found of which all others are manifestations. So religion ceases to progress when unity is reached, which is the case with Hinduism.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
There is this difference between the love taught by Christianity and that taught by Hinduism: Christianity teaches us to love our neighbours as we should wish them to love us Hinduism asks us to love them as ourselves, in fact to see ourselves in them.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
All real progress must be slow.
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
A Sannyasin cannot belong to any religion, for his is a life of independent thought, which draws from all religions his is a life of realisation, not merely of theory or belief, much less of dogma.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
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
Image
Renunciation is always the ideal of every race only other races do not know what they are made to do by nature unconsciously.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The very idea of an infinite in place would be a contradiction in terms, as a place must begin and continue in time.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I am not talking about what every one of us means by love. Little namby-pamby love is lovely. Man rails in love with woman, and woman goes to die for man. The chances are that in five minutes John kicks Jane, and Jane kicks John. This is a materialism and no love at all. If John could really love Jane, he would be perfect that moment.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Meditation means the mind is turned back upon itself. The mind stops all the thought-waves and the world stops. Your consciousness expands. Every time you meditate you will keep your growth.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Work done for the Self gives no bondage. Neither desire pleasure nor fear pain from work. It is the mind and body that work, not I. Tell yourself this unceasingly and realise it. Try not to know that you work.
Swami Vivekananda
