Image
I reached Ghazipur three days ago. Here I am putting up in the house of Babu Satish Chandra Mukherji, a friend of my early age. The place is very pleasant. Close by flows the Ganga, but bathing there is troublesome, for there is no regular path, and it is hard work wading through sands.
Swami Vivekananda

Our religion teaches that anger is a great sin, even if it is righteous.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Art is - representing the beautiful. There must be Art in everything.
Swami Vivekananda

YOU know, I may have to be born again, you see, I have fallen in love with mankind.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Truth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true.
Swami Vivekananda

Man makes the mistake of separating himself from God and identifying himself with the body.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
This intelligence itself is modified into what we call egoism, and this intelligence is the cause of all the powers in the body. It covers the whole ground, sub-consciousness, consciousness, and super-consciousness.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
It is the Prana that is manifesting as motion.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
As long as we believe ourselves to be even the least different from God, fear remains with us but when we know ourselves to be the One, fear goes of what can we be afraid.?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Everything that you do under compulsion goes to build up attachment.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
My brother, do men grieve over the fight of cats and dogs? So the jealousy, envy, and elbowing of common men should make no impression on your mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Superstition is great enemy of man but bigotry is worse.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Everything which has name and form must die. If there are heavens with forms, these heavens must vanish in course of time they may last millions of years, but there must come a time when they will have to go.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The happiest moments we ever know are when we entirely forget ourselves.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I have come to deal with principles. I have only to preach that God comes again and again, and that He came in India as Krishna, Rama, and Buddha, and that He will come again. It can almost be demonstrated that after each 500 years the world sinks, and a tremendous spiritual wave comes, and on the top of the wave is a Christ.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Delusion will vanish as the light becomes more and more effulgent, load after load of ignorance will vanish, and then will come a time when all else has disappeared and the sun alone shines.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Do not wait for anybody or anything. Do whatever you can. Build your hope on none.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Where no bondage is, there is no cause and effect.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
All these ideas such as astrology, although there may be a grain of truth in them, should be avoided.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
One ounce of the practice of righteousness and of spiritual Self-realisation outweighs tons and tons of frothy talk and nonsensical sentiments.
