Do not hate anybody, because that hatred which comes out from you must, in the long run, come back to you. If you love, that love will come back to you, completing the circle.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Manushya (man) is a being with Manas (mind) and as soon as his thinking power goes, he becomes no better than an animal.
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
We want today that bright sun of intellectuality joined with the heart of Buddha, the wonderful infinite heart of love and mercy. This union will give us the highest philosophy.
Swami Vivekananda
To me an Indian is one who has got a Vedantic brain which probes deep and soars high an Islamic body that is vibrant and valiant a Buddhistic heart overflowing with compassion and kindness and Christian limbs of service and sacrifice.
Swami Vivekananda
We are the living devils.
Swami Vivekananda
Try a little harder, and meditation comes. You do not feel the body or anything else. When you come out of it after the hour, you have had the most beautiful rest you ever had in your life. That is the only way you ever give rest to your system. Not even the deepest sleep will give you such a rest as that.
Swami Vivekananda
When you feel gloomy, think what has been done within the last year. How, rising from nothing.
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
Think of a space in your heart, and in the midst of that space think that a flame is burning. Think of that a flame is burning. Think of that flame as your own soul and inside the flame is another effulgent light, and that is the Soul of your soul, God. Meditate upon that in the heart.
Swami Vivekananda
Renunciation, and renunciation alone, is the real secret, the Mulamantra, of all Realisation.
Swami Vivekananda
The Buddha is not a person but a (state of) realization to which anyone can attain.
Swami Vivekananda
Work, my children, work with your whole heart and soul! That is the thing. Mind not the fruit of work. What if you go to hell working for others? That is worth more than to gain heaven by seeking your own salvation... Sri Ramakrishna came and gave his life for the world. I will also sacrifice my life.
Swami Vivekananda
Change is always in regard to something which does not change, or which changes relatively less.
Swami Vivekananda
One thing I must tell you. Idolatry in India does not mean anything horrible. It is not the mother of harlots.
Swami Vivekananda
The law of Karma is the law of causation.
Swami Vivekananda
It is the greatest manifestation of power to be calm.
Swami Vivekananda
Who shall make me perfect? I am perfect already.
Swami Vivekananda
Shri Ramakrishna use to say, As Long as I Live, so long do I learn. That man or that society which has nothing to learn is already in the jaws of death.
Swami Vivekananda
The natural ambition of woman is through marriage to climb up, leaning upon a man but those days are gone. You shall be great without the help of any man, just as you are.
Swami Vivekananda
What we want is progress, development, realisation.
Swami Vivekananda
