More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
A golden chain is as much a chain as an iron one. Shri Ramakrishna used to say that, to pick out one thorn which has stuck into the foot, another thorn is requisitioned, and when the thorn is taken out, both are thrown away. So the bad tendencies are to be counteracted by the good ones, but after that, the good tendencies have also to be conquered.
Swami Vivekananda
Each man is perfect by his nature prophets have manifested this perfection, but it is potential in us.
Swami Vivekananda
Relationships are more important than life,but it is important for those relationships to have life in them
Swami Vivekananda
Excessive attention to the minutiae of astrology is one of the superstitions which has hurt the Hindus very much.
Swami Vivekananda
You are the Children of God, the sharers of immortal bliss, holy and perfect beings. You divinities on earth. Come up, O lions, and shake off the delusion that you are sheep you are souls immortal, spirits free, blest and eternal you are not matter, you are not bodies matter is your servant,not you the servant of matter.
Swami Vivekananda
Karma is the eternal assertion of human freedom. . . . Our thoughts, our words, and deeds are the threads of the net which we throw around ourselves.
Swami Vivekananda
Just as man must have liberty to think and speak, so he must have liberty in food, dress, and marriage, and in every other thing, so long as he does not injure others.
Swami Vivekananda
Man is the epitome of all things and all knowledge is in him.
Swami Vivekananda
A few heart-whole, sincere, and energetic men and women can do more in a year than a mob in a century.
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
You gain nothing by becoming cowards.
Swami Vivekananda
We never want Him. We say, Lord, give me a fine house. We want the house, not Him. Give me health! Save me from this difficulty! When a man wants nothing but Him, [he gets Him].
Swami Vivekananda
The Heart and core of everything here is good, that whatever may be the surface waves, deep down and underlying everything, there is an infinite basis of Goodness and Love.
Swami Vivekananda
Each man is divine. Each man that you see is a God by his very nature.
Swami Vivekananda
If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.
Swami Vivekananda
It is clear to us that, for good or for evil, our vitality is concentrated in our religion. You cannot change it. You cannot destroy it and put in its place another.
Swami Vivekananda
If the mind is pleased with praise, it will be displeased with blame.
Swami Vivekananda
If you can get rid of your attachment to a single thing, you are on the way to liberation.
Swami Vivekananda
The Indian mind is first religious, then anything else. So this is to be strengthened.
Swami Vivekananda
Each soul is a star and all stars are set in the infinite azure, the eternal sky-the Lord.
