More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
The powers of the mind should be concentrated and the mind turned back upon itself as the darkest places reveal their secrets before the penetrating rays of the sun, so will the concentrated mind penetrate its own innermost secrets.
Swami Vivekananda
If I am immune against all anger, I never feel angry.
Swami Vivekananda
Even the least work done for others awakens the power within.
Swami Vivekananda
Everything can be sacrificed for truth, but truth cannot be sacrificed for anything.
Swami Vivekananda
He who knows even how to prepare a smoke properly, knows also how to meditate. And he who cannot cook well cannot be a perfect sannyasin. Unless cooking is performed with a pure mind and concentration, the food is not palatable.
Swami Vivekananda
Never forget that a man is made great and perfect as much by his faults as by his virtues. So we must not seek to rob a nation of its character, even if it could be proved that the character was all faults.
Swami Vivekananda
Two attempts have been made in the world to found social life: the one was upon religion, and the other was upon social necessity. The one was founded upon spirituality, the other upon materialism the one upon transcendentalism, the other upon realism.
Swami Vivekananda
I am teaching you now about it, but how many of you will practice it?
Swami Vivekananda
Internal and external nature, mind and matter, are in time and space, and are bound by the law of causation.
Swami Vivekananda
The less the thought of the body, the better. For it is the body that drags us down.
Swami Vivekananda
May the Lord ordain that your son becomes a man, and never a coward!
Swami Vivekananda
Charity never faileth.
Swami Vivekananda
We first observe facts, then generalise, and then draw conclusions or principles.
Swami Vivekananda
If there be no eternal life, still the enjoyment of spiritual thoughts as ideals is keener and makes a man happier, whilst the foolery of materialism leads to competition and undue ambition and ultimate death, individual and national.
Swami Vivekananda
Man's experience in the world is to enable him to get out of its whirlpool.
Swami Vivekananda
The sign of vigour, the sign of life, the sign of hope, the sign of health, the sign of everything that is good, is strength. As long as the body lives, there must be strength in the body, strength in the mind, [and strength] in the hand.
Swami Vivekananda
There is implanted in every man, naturally, a strong desire for progress.
Swami Vivekananda
Let there be as little materialism as possible, with the maximum of spirituality.
Swami Vivekananda
Friends or foes, they are all instruments in Her hands to help us work out our own karma, through pleasure or pain. As such, 'Mother' bless all.
Swami Vivekananda
Ishvara is the highest manifestation of the Absolute Reality, or in other words, the highest possible reading of the Absolute by the human mind. Creation is eternal, and so also is Ishvara.
Swami Vivekananda
