Quote

Say to your own minds, I am He, I am He. Let it ring day and night in your minds like a song, and at the point of death declare : I am He. That is truth the infinite strength of the world is yours.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda

Image
One way for attaining Bhakti is by repeating the name of God a number of times. Mantras have effect: the mere repetition of words.... To obtain Bhakti, seek the company of holy men who have Bhakti, and read books like the Gita and the Imitation of Christ always think of the attributes of God.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
One thing I must tell you. Idolatry in India does not mean anything horrible. It is not the mother of harlots.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
What do you gain in heaven? You become gods, drink nectar, and get rheumatism. There is less misery there than on earth, but also less truth.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
There is no help for you outside of yourself you are the creator of the universe. Like the silkworm you have built a cocoon around yourself.... Burst your own cocoon and come out as the beautiful butterfly, as the free soul. Then alone you will see Truth.

To work with undaunted energy! What fear! Who is powerful enough to thwart you.
Swami Vivekananda

The spirit is the cause of all our thoughts and body-action, and everything, but it is untouched by good or evil, pleasure or pain, heat of cold, and all the dualism of nature, although it lends its light to everything.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
In every attempt there are many obstacles to cope with, but gradually the path becomes smooth.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Dependence is misery. Independence is happiness.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The earth is enjoyed by heroes”—this is the unfailing truth. Be a hero. Always say, “I have no fear.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
It is not God's fault. It is our fault that we suffer. Whatever we sow we reap.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
There is only one sin and it is: weakness. When I was a boy, I read Milton's Paradise Lost. The only good man I had any respect for was Satan. The only saint is that person who never weakens, faces everything, and determines die game.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
When once you consider an action, do not let anything dissuade you. Consult your heart, not others, and then follow its dictates.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Die in obeying commands like a soldier, and go to Nirvana, but no cowardice.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
God is pure, and the same to all.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Until we realise ourselves as the Absolute, we cannot attain to deliverance.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
If there be no eternal life, still the enjoyment of spiritual thoughts as ideals is keener and makes a man happier, whilst the foolery of materialism leads to competition and undue ambition and ultimate death, individual and national.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The body must be properly taken care of. The people who torture their flesh are demoniacal.
