Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda
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
As the cause is, so the effect will be.
Swami Vivekananda
Well has it been said that man is the only animal that naturally looks upwards every other animal naturally looks down. That looking upward and going upward and seeking perfection are what is called salvation and the sooner a man begins to go higher, the sooner he raises himself towards this idea of truth as salvation.
Swami Vivekananda
An intellectual, heartless man never becomes an inspired man. It is always the heart that speaks in the man of love it discovers a greater instrument than intellect can give you, the instrument of inspiration.
Swami Vivekananda
To weep is a sign of weakness, of bondage.
