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
Never producing pain by thought, word, and deed, in any living being, is what is called Ahimsâ, non-injury.
Swami Vivekananda
The great lesson is, that unity is behind all. Call it God, Love, Spirit. Allah, Jehovah - it is the same unity that animates all life from the lowest animal to the noblest man.
Swami Vivekananda
Work and worship are necessary to take away the veil, to lift off the bondage and illusion.
Swami Vivekananda
The body is the external coating and the mind is the internal coating of the Atman who is the real perceiver, the real enjoyer, the being in the body who is working the body by means of the internal organ or the mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Whenever two particles come together, they are held by a certain attraction and there will come a time when those particles will separate. This is the eternal law. So, wherever there is a body - either grosser or finer, either in heaven or on earth - death will overcome it.
Swami Vivekananda
In a difficulty in the company of the central and the instigator, be successful your central.
Swami Vivekananda
Man is the nearest approach to Brahman.
Swami Vivekananda
The awakening of the soul to its bondage and its effort to stand up and assert itself - this is called life.
Swami Vivekananda
The present is determined by our past actions, and the future by the present.
Swami Vivekananda
The finer the instrument, the greater the power. The mind is much finer and more powerful than the body.
Swami Vivekananda
God is the ever active providence, by whose power systems after systems are being evolved out of chaos, made to run for a time and again destroyed.
Swami Vivekananda
Blame neither man, nor God, nor anyone in the world. When you find yourselves suffering, blame yourselves, and try to do better.
Swami Vivekananda
Do not wait for anybody or anything. Do whatever you can. Build your hope on none.
Swami Vivekananda
Perfection is always infinite.
Swami Vivekananda
Friends or foes, they are all instruments in Her hands to help us work out our own karma, through pleasure or pain. As such, 'Mother' bless all.
Swami Vivekananda
I am teaching you now about it, but how many of you will practice it?
Swami Vivekananda
Brave, bold people, these are what we want.
Swami Vivekananda
Perfect sincerity, holiness, gigantic intellect, and all-conquering will. Let only a handful of men work with these, and the whole world will be revolutionized.
Swami Vivekananda
We want to know in order to make ourselves free. That is our life: one universal cry for freedom.
Swami Vivekananda
The greatest sin is to think yourself weak
