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.

More quotes by 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
By doing well the duty which is nearest to us, the duty which is in our hands now, we make ourselves stronger and improving our strength in this manner step by step, we may reach a state in which it shall be our privilege to do the most coveted and honored duties in life and in society.
Swami Vivekananda
It is the nature of the brute to remain where he is (not to progress) it is the nature of man to seek good and avoid evil it is the nature of God to seek neither, but just to be eternally blissful. Let us be God!
Swami Vivekananda
We want Shraddhâ, we want faith in our own selves. Strength is life, weakness is death. 'We are the Âtman, deathless and free pure, pure by nature. Can we ever commit any sin? Impossible!' - such a faith is needed. Such a faith makes men of us, makes gods of us. It is by losing this idea of Shraddha that the country has gone to ruin.
Swami Vivekananda
There is no salvation for man until he sees God, realises his own soul.
Swami Vivekananda
Love and charity for the whole human race, that is the test of true religiousness.
Swami Vivekananda
The history of the world is the history of a few men who had faith in themselves. That faith calls out the divinity within. You can do anything. You fail only when you do not strive sufficiently to manifest infinite power. As soon as a man or a nation loses faith, death comes.
Swami Vivekananda
This craving for health, wealth, long life, and the like - the so - called good - is nothing but an illusion.
Swami Vivekananda
Arise! Awake! and stop not until the goal is reached.
Swami Vivekananda
One ounce of practice is worth a thousand pounds of theory.
Swami Vivekananda
It is fear that is the greatest cause of misery in the world.
Swami Vivekananda
The first angle is, love questions not. It is not a beggar. ... When love asks nothing, [when it] gives everything. This is the real spiritual worship, the worship through love. Whether God is merciful is no longer questioned. He is God He is my love. Whether God is omnipotent and almighty, limited or unlimited , is no longer questioned.
Swami Vivekananda
May blessings and happiness attend every step of your progress in this world.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion has become to many merely a means of doing a little charity work, just to amuse them after a hard day's labour - they get five minutes religion to amuse them. This is the danger with the liberal thought.
Swami Vivekananda
The Kingdom of Heaven is within you. Where goest thou to seek for the Kingdom of God, asks Jesus of Nazareth, when it is there, within you? Cleanse the spirit, and it is there. It is already yours. How can you get what is not yours? It is yours by right. You are the heirs of immortality, sons of the Eternal Father.
Swami Vivekananda
The only test of goods things is that they make us strong.
Swami Vivekananda
This external worship of images has, however, been described in all our Shastras as the lowest of all the low forms of worship. But that does not mean that it is a wrong thing to do.
Swami Vivekananda
Egotism, pride, etc. must be given up.
Swami Vivekananda
This, I have seen in life - those who are overcautious about themselves fall into dangers at every step. Those who are afraid of losing honor and respect, get only disgrace and those who are always afraid of loss, always lose.
Swami Vivekananda
The one theme of the Vedanta philosophy is the search after unity. The Hindu mind does not care for the particular it is always after the general, nay, the universal. what is it that by knowing which everything else is to be known. That is the one search.
