Space-time-causation, or name-and-form, is what is called Maya.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Do not believe a thing because you have read about it in a book. Do not believe a thing because another man has said it was true. Do not believe in words because they are hallowed by tradition. Find out the truth for yourself. Reason it out. That is realization.
Swami Vivekananda

If you can get rid of your attachment to a single thing, you are on the way to liberation.
Swami Vivekananda

Do not say, ‘You are bad’ say only, ‘You are good’, but be better!
Swami Vivekananda

The sign of death is weakness.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I am what I am, and what I am is always due to him whatever in me or in my words is good and true and eternal came to me from his mouth, his heart, his soul. Sri Ramakrishna is the spring of this phase of the earth's religious life, of its impulses and activities. If I can show the world one glimpse of my Master, I shall not have lived in vain.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
A few heart-whole, sincere, and energetic men and women can do more in a year than a mob in a century.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Because the Soul is not made of matter, since it is spiritual, it cannot obey the laws of matter, it cannot be judged by the laws of matter.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Believe in yourself and the world will be at your feet.
Swami Vivekananda
