The Kingdom of Heaven is within us. God is within us. He is the Soul of our souls. See Him in your own soul. That is practical religion. That is freedom.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
I am persuaded that a leader is not made in one life. He has to be born for it. For the difficulty is not in organisation and making plans the test, the real test, of the leader, lies in holding widely different people together along the line of their common sympathies. And this can only be done unconsciously, never by trying.
Swami Vivekananda
This intelligence itself is modified into what we call egoism, and this intelligence is the cause of all the powers in the body. It covers the whole ground, sub-consciousness, consciousness, and super-consciousness.
Swami Vivekananda
The mind is but the subtle part of the body. You must retain great strength in your mind and words.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion and religion alone is the life of India, and when that goes India will die, in spite of politics, in spite of social reforms, in spite of Kubera's wealth poured upon the head of every one of her children.
Swami Vivekananda
Understanding human nature is the highest knowledge, and only by knowing it can we know God. It is also a fact that the knowledge of God is the highest knowledge, and only by knowing God can we understand human nature.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion, in India, means realisation and nothing short of that.
Swami Vivekananda
Stand up, be bold, be strong. Take the whole responsibility on your own shoulders, and know that you are the creator of your own destiny.
Swami Vivekananda
No two persons have the same mind or the same body.
Swami Vivekananda
Christ said, Resist not evil, and we do not understand it until we discover that it is not only moral but actually the best policy, for anger is loss of energy to the man who displays it. You should not allow your minds to come into those brain-combinations of anger and hatred.
Swami Vivekananda
If money help a man to do good to others, it is of some value but if not, it is simply a mass of evil, and the sooner it is got rid of, the better.
Swami Vivekananda
The more we grow in Love, Virtue and Holiness, the more we see Love, Virtue and Holiness outside.
Swami Vivekananda
Consciously or unconsciously, we are all striving for perfection. Every being must attain to it.
Swami Vivekananda
First, believe in the world - that there is meaning behind everything.
Swami Vivekananda
Internal and external nature, mind and matter, are in time and space, and are bound by the law of causation.
Swami Vivekananda
Wait with patience and love and strength. If helpers are not ready now, they will come in time. Why should we be in a hurry? The real working force of all great work is in its almost unperceived beginnings.
Swami Vivekananda
Be Grateful to the Man you help, think of Him as God. Is it not a great privilege to be allowed to worship God by helping our fellow men?
Swami Vivekananda
The power is with the silent ones, who only live and love and then withdraw their personality. They never say “me” and “mine” they are only blessed in being instruments
Swami Vivekananda
Die in obeying commands like a soldier, and go to Nirvana, but no cowardice.
Swami Vivekananda
If you can get absolutely still for just one moment, you have reached the goal.
Swami Vivekananda
Know it for certain that without steady devotion for the Guru and unflinching patience and perseverance, nothing is to be achieved. You must have strict morality.
Swami Vivekananda
