Out of this idea of separation between atom and atom comes all misery.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Who shall make me perfect? I am perfect already.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Science, art, learning and metaphysical research all have their proper functions in life, but if you seek to blend them, you destroy their individual characteristics until, in time, you eliminate the spiritual, for instance, from the religious altogether.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Truth alone triumphs, not untruth. Through truth alone lies the way to Devayana (the way to the gods). Those who think that a little sugar - coating of untruth helps the spread of truth are mistaken and will find in the long run that a single drop of poison poisons the whole mass ... The man who is pure, and who dares, does all things.

Every human being has the right to ask the reason, why, and to have his question answered by himself, if he only takes the trouble.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Man only remains hypnotised with the false idea of an ego. When this ghost is off from us, all dreams vanish, and then it is found that the one Self only exists from the highest Being to a blade of grass.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Have faith that you are all, my brave lads, born to do great things! Let not the barks of puppies frighten you, no, not even the thunderbolts of heaven, but stand up and work!
Swami Vivekananda

We know there is no progress in a straight line.

Where no bondage is, there is no cause and effect.
Swami Vivekananda

The Church tries to fit Christ into it, not the Church into Christ.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
No one is ever really taught by another each of us has to teach himself. The external teacher offers only the suggestion, which arouses the internal teacher, who helps us to understand things.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Have fire and spread all over. Work, work. Be the servant while leading, be unselfish, and never listen to one friend in private accusing another. Have infinite patience, and success is yours.
