We have to cover everything with the Lord himself, not a false sort of optimism, not by blinding our eyes to the evil, but by really seeing God in everything.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Whatever you believe, that you will be. If you believe yourselves to be sages, sages you will be tomorrow. There is nothing to obstruct you.
Swami Vivekananda
Hindus believe Buddha to be an Avatara.
Swami Vivekananda
From the high spiritual flights of the Vedanta philosophy, of which the latest discoveries of science seem like echoes, to the low ideas of idolatry with its multifarious mythology, the agnosticism of the Buddhists and the atheism of the Jains, each and all have a place in the Hinduism religion.
Swami Vivekananda
God is pure, and the same to all.
Swami Vivekananda
Knowledge of the Absolute depends upon no book, nor upon anything it is absolute in itself. No amount of study will give this knowledge is not theory, it is realization. Cleanse the dust from the mirror, purify your own mind, and in a flash you know that you are Brahman.
Swami Vivekananda
The mind is but the subtle part of the body. You must retain great strength in your mind and words.
Swami Vivekananda
Perfection is always infinite.
Swami Vivekananda
The less passion there is, the better we work. The calmer we are the better for us and the more the amount of work we can do.
Swami Vivekananda
There is but one temple - the body. It is the only temple that ever existed.
Swami Vivekananda
Why should I become angry just because another man has made a fool of himself. Do thou resist not evil! That is what the lovers of God say. Whatever the world does, wherever it goes, has no influence [on them].
Swami Vivekananda
The sign of death is weakness.
Swami Vivekananda
Here lies the secret. Says Patanjali, the father of Yoga, When a man rejects all the superhuman powers, then he attains to the cloud of virtue. He sees God. He becomes God and helps others to become the same. This is all I have to preach. Doctrines have been expounded enough. There are books by the million. Oh, for an ounce of practice!
Swami Vivekananda
This earth is higher than all the heavens this is the greatest school in the universe.
Swami Vivekananda
All these ideas such as astrology, although there may be a grain of truth in them, should be avoided.
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
There is salvation only for the brave.
Swami Vivekananda
Do not go for glass beads leaving the mine of diamonds. This life is a great chance. What, seekest thou the pleasures of the world? He is the fountain of all bliss. See for the highest, aim at that highest, and you shall reach the highest.
Swami Vivekananda
Science and religion will meet and shake hands.
Swami Vivekananda
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
Astrology and all these mystical things are generally signs of a weak mind
