Image
The attempt to remove evil from the world by killing a thousand evil - doers, only adds to the evil in the world.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Art must be in touch with nature - and wherever that touch is gone, Art degenerates - yet it must be above nature.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Every change is being forced upon us.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
As soon as you know the voice and understand what it is, the whole scene changes. The same world which was the ghastly battlefield of maya is now changed into something good and beautiful.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Superstitions are all materialism, because they are all based on the consciousness of body, body, body. No spirit there. Spirit has no superstitions - it is beyond the vain desires of the body.
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
Behind my work was ambition, behind my love was personality, behind my purity was fear, behind my guidance the thirst for power. Now they are vanishing and I drift. I come, Mother, I come, in Thy warm bosom, floating wheresoever Thou takest me, in the voiceless, in the strange, in the wonderland, I come - a spectator, no more an actor.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Was there ever a more horrible blasphemy than the statement that all the knowledge of God is confined to this or that book? How dare men call God infinite, and yet try to compress Him within the covers of a little book!
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The wind of divine grace is always blowing. You just need to spread your sail. Whenever you do anything, do it with your whole heart concentrated on it. Think day and night, I am of the essence of that Supreme Being-Consciousness-Bliss. What fear and anxiety have I?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The finer is always the cause, the grosser the effect. So the external world is the effect, the internal the cause.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
From the highest god to the meanest grass, the same power is present in all - whether manifested or not. We shall have to call forth that power by going from door to door.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I am teaching you now about it, but how many of you will practice it?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Have faith in yourselves, great convictions are the mother of great deeds.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Each nation has a main current in life in India it is religion. Make it strong and the waters on either side must move along with it.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
This craving for health, wealth, long life, and the like - the so - called good - is nothing but an illusion.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
In a conflict between the heart and the brain, follow your heart.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Stand upon the Atman, then only can we truly love the world. Take a very, very high stand knowing our universal nature, we must look with perfect calmness upon all the panorama of the world.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
First get rid of the delusion I am the body, then only will we want real knowledge.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The sign of vigour, the sign of life, the sign of hope, the sign of health, the sign of everything that is good, is strength. As long as the body lives, there must be strength in the body, strength in the mind, [and strength] in the hand.
Swami Vivekananda
