Advaita is the only system that gives us complete control over ourselves, takes off all dependence and its associated superstitions, thus making us brave to suffer, brave to do, and in the long run, attain to absolute freedom.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Only when a man sees this universe as God does the veil fall from his eyes then that man, purified and cleansed, finds his whole vision changed.
Swami Vivekananda
Each one of us reaps what we ourselves have sown. These miseries under which we suffer, these bondages under which we struggle, have been caused by ourselves, and none else in the universe is to blame. God is the least to blame for it.
Swami Vivekananda
You have no more anger when you are all love, bliss, infinite existence. . . .
Swami Vivekananda
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
Strength and manliness are virtue weakness and cowardice are sin.
Swami Vivekananda
Business is business, no child's play.
Swami Vivekananda
It is only work that is done as freewill offering to humanity and to nature that does not bring with it any binding attachment.
Swami Vivekananda
Truth will never come into our minds so long as there will remain the faintest shadow of Ahamkâra (egotism). All of you should try to root out this devil from your heart. Complete self-surrender is the only way to spiritual illumination.
Swami Vivekananda
To be unselfish, perfectly selfless, is salvation itself for the man within dies, and God alone remains.
Swami Vivekananda
The body is mortal and the mind is mortal both, being compounds, must die.
Swami Vivekananda
Stand up, be bold, and take the blame on your own shoulders. Do not go about throwing mud at others for all the faults you suffer from, you are the sole and only cause.
Swami Vivekananda
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
If you die, you get to heaven and if you win, you enjoy the earth (Gita). Even if you die in this attempt, well and good, many will take up the work, following your example. And if you succeed, you will live a life of great opulence.
Swami Vivekananda
Astrology and all these mystical things are generally signs of a weak mind therefore as soon as they are becoming prominent in our minds, we should see a physician, take good food, and rest.
Swami Vivekananda
The mind has to be gradually and systematically brought under control.
Swami Vivekananda
Calm and silent and steady work, and no newspaper humbug, no name-making, you must always remember.
Swami Vivekananda
Desire, ignorance, and inequality—this is the trinity of bondage.
Swami Vivekananda
The Impersonal God seen through the mists of sense is personal.
Swami Vivekananda
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
Relationships are more important than life,but it is important for those relationships to have life in them
Swami Vivekananda
