More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
When we suffer, it is because of our own acts God is not to be blamed for it.
Swami Vivekananda
A certain motion becomes understood when it is referred to a force certain sensations, to matter certain changes outside, to law certain changes in thought, to mind certain order singly, to causation - and joined to time, to law.
Swami Vivekananda
Be moral. Be brave. Be a heart-whole man, strictly moral, brave unto desperation. Don't bother your head with religious theories. Cowards only sin, brave men never, no, not even in mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Man's experience in the world is to enable him to get out of its whirlpool.
Swami Vivekananda
We do not progress from error to truth, but from truth to truth
Swami Vivekananda
One ounce of the practice of righteousness and of spiritual Self-realisation outweighs tons and tons of frothy talk and nonsensical sentiments.
Swami Vivekananda
The one who actually succeeds in making himself believe that he is having a good time is the man of splendid physical health.
Swami Vivekananda
Perfect life is a contradiction in terms. Therefore we must always expect to find things not up to our highest ideal. Knowing this, we are bound to make the best of everything.
Swami Vivekananda
This universe is the wreckage of the infinite on the shores of the finite.
Swami Vivekananda
The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.
Swami Vivekananda
From attachment comes longing, and longing breeds anger. From anger comes delusion, and from delusion, confused memory. From confused memory comes the ruin of discrimination and from the ruin of discrimination, a man perishes.
Swami Vivekananda
I am no metaphysician, no philosopher, nay, no saint. But I am poor and I love the poor. I see what they call the poor of this country and how many there are who feel for them!
Swami Vivekananda
These births and deaths are changes in nature which we are mistaking for changes in us.
Swami Vivekananda
Live for an ideal, and that one ideal alone. Let it be so great, so strong, that there may be nothing else left in the mind no place for anything else, no time for anything else.
Swami Vivekananda
Space-time-causation, or name-and-form, is what is called Maya.
Swami Vivekananda
We are slaves in the hands of nature - slaves to a bit of bread, slaves to praise, slaves to blame, slaves to wife, to husband, to child, slaves to everything.
Swami Vivekananda
Cowardice is no virtue.
Swami Vivekananda
Hindu religion does not consist in struggles and attempts to believe a certain doctrine or dogma, but in realizing not in believing, but in being and becoming.
Swami Vivekananda
Purity, patience and perseverance overcome all obstacles. All great things must of necessity be slow.
Swami Vivekananda
One ounce of practice is worth a thousand pounds of theory.
Swami Vivekananda
