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
We get caught. How? Not by what we give but by what we expect. We get misery in return for our love: not from the fact that we love but from the fact that we want love in return. There is no misery where there is no want. Desire, want, is the father of all misery. Desires are bound by the laws of success and failure. Desires must bring misery.
Swami Vivekananda
Strength and manliness are virtue weakness and cowardice are sin.
Swami Vivekananda
All motion, either in the body or anywhere else, is the work of this Prana.
Swami Vivekananda
Ignorance is death, knowledge is life. Life is of very little value, if it is a life in the dark, groping through ignorance and misery.
Swami Vivekananda
There is no chance for the welfare of the world unless the condition of woman is improved. It is not possible for a bird to fly on only one wing. There is no hope for that family or country where there is no estimation of women, where they live in sadness. For this reason, they have to be raised first.
Swami Vivekananda
We are the sons of Light and children of God. Glory unto the Lord, we will succeed.
Swami Vivekananda
Marriage is an institution very safely guarded.
Swami Vivekananda
The great lesson is, that unity is behind all. Call it God, Love, Spirit. Allah, Jehovah - it is the same unity that animates all life from the lowest animal to the noblest man.
Swami Vivekananda
Om is the pointed piece and Dhyâna (meditation) is the friction.
Swami Vivekananda
One ounce of practice is worth a thousand pounds of theory.
Swami Vivekananda
We have none of us seen a form which had not a beginning and will not have an end.
Swami Vivekananda
The test of progress is the amount of renunciation that one has attained.
Swami Vivekananda
Even the lowest of the Hindus, the Pariah, has less of the brute in him than a Briton in a similar social status.
Swami Vivekananda
A wave in the ocean is a wave, only in so far as it is bound by name and form.
Swami Vivekananda
The benefits of knowledge can only be realized in practice.
Swami Vivekananda
Man is born to conquer nature and not to follow it.
Swami Vivekananda
To give up the world is to forget the ego, to know it not at all - living in the body, but not of it.
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
Let us not depend upon the world for pleasure.
Swami Vivekananda
The happiest moments we ever know are when we entirely forget ourselves.
Swami Vivekananda
