More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
This is the one great idea to understand that our power is already ours, our salvation is already within us.
Swami Vivekananda
There is no end to the power a man can obtain.
Swami Vivekananda
There may be a million microbes of misery floating about us. Never mind! They dare not approach us, they have no power to get a hold on us, until the mind is weakened.
Swami Vivekananda
The greatest truths are the simplest things in the world, simple as your own existence.
Swami Vivekananda
This world is nothing. It is at best only a hideous caricature, a shadow of the Real. We must go to the Real. Renunciation will take us to It. Renunciation is the very basis of our true life every moment of goodness and real life that we enjoy is when we do not think of ourselves.
Swami Vivekananda
The attempt is to kill the false I, so that the real I, the Lord, will reign. I the Lord thy God am a jealous God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me, say the Hebrew scriptures.
Swami Vivekananda
Only by practice and non-attachment can we conquer mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Cut the bondage of all worldly affections go beyond laziness and all care as to what becomes of you.
Swami Vivekananda
It is the calm, forgiving, equable, well-balanced mind that does the greatest amount of work.
Swami Vivekananda
We are the makers of our own lives. There is no such thing as fate. Our lives are the result of our previous actions, our karma, and it naturally flows that, having been ourselves the makers of our karma, we must also be able to unmake it.
Swami Vivekananda
. . . Have patience and be faithful unto death. Do not fight among yourselves. Be perfectly pure in money dealings. . . . We will do great things yet. . . . So long as you have faith and honesty and devotion, everything will prosper.
Swami Vivekananda
We must have life building, man-making, character-making assimilation of ideas.
Swami Vivekananda
Infinite perfection is in every man, though unmanifested. Every man has in him the potentiality of attaining to perfect saintliness, Rishihood, or to the most exalted position of an Avatâra, or to the greatness of a hero in material discoveries.
Swami Vivekananda
As body, mind, or soul, you are a dream you really are Being, Consciousness, Bliss (satchidananda). You are the God of this universe.
Swami Vivekananda
The moment you think creed and form and ceremony the be-all and end-all, then you are in bondage. Take part in them to help others, but take care they do not become a bondage.
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
Spirituality is the science of the Soul.
Swami Vivekananda
BY the study of different RELIGIONS we find that in essence they are one.
Swami Vivekananda
Praise and blame, good and bad, even heat and cold, must be equally acceptable to us.
Swami Vivekananda
As thou thinkest, so art thou.
Swami Vivekananda
