More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Why are people so afraid? The answer is that they have made themselves helpless and dependent on others. We are so lazy, we do not want to do anything ourselves. We want a Personal God, a Savior or a Prophet to do everything for us.
Swami Vivekananda
Each one of you has a glorious future if you dare believe me. Have a tremendous faith in yourselves, like the faith I had when I was I was young... Have that faith, each one of you, in yourself - that eternal power is lodged in every soul - and you will revive the whole of India.
Swami Vivekananda
All is the Self or Brahman. The saint, the sinner, the lamb, the tiger, even the murderer, as far as they have any reality, can be nothing else, because there is nothing else.
Swami Vivekananda
Each nation has an identity and destiny. As far as Bharat is concerned, Hindu is its identity and religion is its way of working
Swami Vivekananda
Worship of society and popular opinion is idolatry.
Swami Vivekananda
The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.
Swami Vivekananda
Do you have the belief in you to move on, even when the whole world is against you, with swords in their hands?
Swami Vivekananda
Hindu Dharma is the quintessence of our national life, hold fast to it if you want your country to survive, or else you would be wiped out in three generations.
Swami Vivekananda
Do not be afraid of a small beginning. great things come afterwards. Be courageous. Do not try to lead your brethren, but serve them. The brutal mania for leading has sunk many a great ships in the waters of life. Take care especially of that, i.e. be unselfish even unto death, and work.
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
Is there any sex-distinction in the Atman (Self)? Out with the differentiation between man and woman—all is Atman! Give up the identification with the body, and stand up!
Swami Vivekananda
The present is determined by our past actions, and the future by the present.
Swami Vivekananda
This is a great fact: strength is life weakness is death. Strength is felicity, life eternal, immortal weakness is constant strain and misery, weakness is death.
Swami Vivekananda
The wave is the same thing as the water, the effect is the cause in another form
Swami Vivekananda
My child, what I want is muscles of iron and nerves of steel, inside which dwells a mind of the same material as that of which the thunderbolt is made.
Swami Vivekananda
He whose book of the heart has been opened needs no other books.
Swami Vivekananda
Man has infinite power within himself, and he can realise it - he can realise himself as the one infinite Self. It can be done but you do not believe it. You pray to God and keep your powder dry all the time.
Swami Vivekananda
It is fear that is the greatest cause of misery in the world.
Swami Vivekananda
You and I and everything in the universe are that Absolute, not parts, but the whole. You are the whole of that Absolute, and so are all others, because the idea of part cannot come into it.
Swami Vivekananda
Anything that is in space has form. Space itself has form. Either you are in space, or space is in you. The soul is beyond all space. Space is in the soul, not the soul in space.
Swami Vivekananda
