The spirit is the cause of all our thoughts and body-action, and everything, but it is untouched by good or evil, pleasure or pain, heat of cold, and all the dualism of nature, although it lends its light to everything.
Swami Vivekananda

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
The greatest help to spiritual life is meditation.
Swami Vivekananda
Something cannot be made out of nothing. Nor can something be made to go back to nothing.
Swami Vivekananda
The greatest truths are the simplest things in the world, simple as your own existence.
Swami Vivekananda
If I, as an Oriental have to worship Jesus of Nazareth, there is only one way, that is, to worship him as God and nothing else.
Swami Vivekananda
The bane of sects, especially in Bengal, is that if any one happens to have a different opinion, he immediately starts a new sect, he has no patience to wait.
Swami Vivekananda
We do not depend upon any external help in meditation.
Swami Vivekananda
The power of concentration is the only key to the treasure-house of knowledge.
Swami Vivekananda
A changeable God would be no God.
Swami Vivekananda
Those giants of old, the ancient Rishis, who never walked but strode, of whom if you were to think but for a moment you would shrivel up into a moth, they sir, had time-and you have no time!
Swami Vivekananda
Even the greatest fool can accomplish a task if it were after his or her heart. But the intelligent ones are those who can convert every work into one that suits their taste.
Swami Vivekananda
Anything that is in space has form. Space itself has form. Either you are in space, or space is in you. The soul is beyond all space. Space is in the soul, not the soul in space.
Swami Vivekananda
Every Hindu knows that astrologers try to fix the caste of every boy or girl as soon as he or she is born. That is the real caste - the individuality, and Jyotisha (astrology) recognises that. And we can only rise by giving it full sway again. This variety does not mean inequality, nor any special privilege.
Swami Vivekananda
The essence of our Faith consists simply in this freedom of the Ishta.
Swami Vivekananda
The guide, the guru, the leader, the teacher, has passed away the boy, the student, the servant, is left behind.
Swami Vivekananda
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
The man who becomes angry never does a great amount of work, and the man whom nothing can make angry accomplishes so much.
Swami Vivekananda
First, believe in the world - that there is meaning behind everything.
Swami Vivekananda
Those who work at a thing heart and soul not only achieve success in it but through their absorption in that they also realize the supreme truth-Brahman. Those who work at a thing with their whole heart receive help from God.
Swami Vivekananda
Society does not go down because of the activities of criminals, But because of the inactivities of the good people.
Swami Vivekananda
The organs are the horses, the mind is the rein, the intellect is the charioteer, the soul is the rider, and the body is the chariot.
Swami Vivekananda
