Quote

Do you believe in that Infinite, good Providence working in and through you? If you believe that this Omnipresent One is present in every atom, is through and through, Ota-Prota, as the Sanskrit word goes, penetrating your body, mind and soul, how can you lose heart?

Image
India is immortal if she persists in her search for God. But if she goes in for politics and social conflict, she will die.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
A sapling must be hedged about for protection, but when it becomes a tree, a hedge would be a hindrance. So there is no need to criticise and condemn the old forms.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
He who has conquered the internal nature controls the whole universe it becomes his servant.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
There is one thing to be remembered: that the assertion 'I am God' cannot be made with regard to the sense-world.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Work and worship are necessary to take away the veil, to lift off the bondage and illusion.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The more we grow in love and virtue and holiness, the more we see love and virtue and holiness outside. All condemnation of others really condemns ourselves. Adjust the microcosm (which is in your power to do) and the macrocosm will adjust itself for you. It is like the hydrostatic paradox, one drop of water can balance the universe.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Be not in despair, the way is very difficult, like walking on the edge of a razor yet despair not, arise, awake, and find the ideal, the goal.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Know that every time you feel weak, you not only hurt yourself but also the cause. Infinite faith and strength are the only conditions of success.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Evil company is always to be shunned because it leads to lust and anger, illusion, forgetfulness of the goal, destruction of the will (lack of perseverance), and destruction of everything. (Narada Bhakti Sutra)
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Everything can be sacrificed for truth, but truth cannot be sacrificed for anything.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
You are the creator of your own destiny
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Those giants of old, the ancient Rishis, who never walked but strode, of whom if you were to think but for a moment you would shrivel up into a moth, they sir, had time-and you have no time!
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I, for one, thoroughly believe that no power in the universe can withhold from anyone anything they really deserve.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Wait with patience and love and strength. If helpers are not ready now, they will come in time. Why should we be in a hurry? The real working force of all great work is in its almost unperceived beginnings.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
You must keep a strict eye on your health let everything else be subordinated to that.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The Impersonal God seen through the mists of sense is personal.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The less passion there is, the better we work. The calmer we are the better for us and the more the amount of work we can do.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
If money help a man to do good to others, it is of some value but if not, it is simply a mass of evil, and the sooner it is got rid of, the better.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Fear is death, fear is sin, fear is hell, fear is unrighteousness, and fear is wrong life. All the negative thoughts and ideas that are in the world have proceeded from this evil spirit of fear.
Swami Vivekananda
