How do you know what possibilities lie behind that degradation on the surface? You know but little of that which is within you. For behind you is the ocean of infinite power and blessedness.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Society does not go down because of the activities of criminals, But because of the inactivities of the good people.
Swami Vivekananda
Meditation means the mind is turned back upon itself. The mind stops all the thought-waves and the world stops. Your consciousness expands. Every time you meditate you will keep your growth.
Swami Vivekananda
Spirituality is the science of the Soul.
Swami Vivekananda
The present is determined by our past actions, and the future by the present.
Swami Vivekananda
He who is alone is happy. Do good to all, like everyone, but do not love anyone. It is a bondage, and bondage brings only misery. Live alone in your mind - that is happiness. To have nobody to care for and never minding who cares for one is the way to be free.
Swami Vivekananda
As the cause is, so the effect will be.
Swami Vivekananda
Have faith in yourself, all power is in you, be conscious and bring it out
Swami Vivekananda
You must have an iron will, if you would cross the ocean. You must be strong enough to pierce mountains.
Swami Vivekananda
The sum total of all the cells in an organism is one person so each soul is like one cell and the sum of them is God, and beyond that is the Absolute.
Swami Vivekananda
We do not progress from error to truth, but from truth to truth
Swami Vivekananda
Understanding human nature is the highest knowledge, and only by knowing it can we know God. It is also a fact that the knowledge of God is the highest knowledge, and only by knowing God can we understand human nature.
Swami Vivekananda
It is faith that makes a lion of a man.
Swami Vivekananda
Forgive offences by the million. And if you love all unselfishly, all will by degrees come to love one another.
Swami Vivekananda
I am in every religion as the thread through a string of pearls. Wherever thou seest extraordinary holiness and extraordinary power raising and purifying humanity, know thou that I am there.
Swami Vivekananda
The organs are the horses, the mind is the rein, the intellect is the charioteer, the soul is the rider, and the body is the chariot.
Swami Vivekananda
Live for an ideal and leave no place in the mind for anything else.
Swami Vivekananda
Matter is motion outside, mind is motion inside.
Swami Vivekananda
Every time you think of doing some charity, you think there is some beggar to take your charity. If you say, O Lord, let the world be full of charitable people! - you mean, let the world be full of beggars also. Let the world be full of good works - let the world be full of misery. This is out-and-out slavishness!
Swami Vivekananda
There cannot be friendship without equality.
Swami Vivekananda
The law of Karma is the law of causation.
Swami Vivekananda
