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.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Every time you meditate you will keep your growth.
Swami Vivekananda
In these days of intellectual awakening and steadily asserting public opinion, the holy places of the Hindus, their condition, and method of work have not escaped tile keen eye of criticism and this city, being the holy of holies to all Hindus, has not failed to attract its full share of censure.
Swami Vivekananda
The history of the world is the history of a few men who had faith in themselves
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
Do not fret because the world looks with suspicion at every new attempt, even though it be in the path of spirituality.
Swami Vivekananda
We must become free. We are free the work is to know it. We must give up all slavery, all bondage of whatever kind. We must not only give up our bondage to earth and everything and everybody on earth, but also to all ideas of heaven and happiness.
Swami Vivekananda
All motion, either in the body or anywhere else, is the work of this Prana.
Swami Vivekananda
Impurity is a mere superimposition under which your real nature has become hidden. But the real you is already perfect, already strong.
Swami Vivekananda
Dependence is misery. Independence is happiness.
Swami Vivekananda
Why should I become angry just because another man has made a fool of himself. Do thou resist not evil! That is what the lovers of God say. Whatever the world does, wherever it goes, has no influence [on them].
Swami Vivekananda
All misery and pain come from attachment.
Swami Vivekananda
Change is always subjective. To talk of evil and misery is nonsense, because they do not exist outside. If I am immune from all anger, I never feel angry. If am immune from all hatred, I never feel hatred.
Swami Vivekananda
The finer is always the cause, the grosser the effect. So the external world is the effect, the internal the cause.
Swami Vivekananda
In one sense Brahman is known to every human being he knows, I am but man does not know himself as he is.
Swami Vivekananda
Everything is easy when you are busy. But nothing is easy when you are lazy.
Swami Vivekananda
Bodies come and go, but the soul does not change.
Swami Vivekananda
All progression is in the relative world.
Swami Vivekananda
Never turn back to see the result of what you have done. Give all to the Lord and go on, and think not of it.
Swami Vivekananda
It is clear to us that, for good or for evil, our vitality is concentrated in our religion. You cannot change it. You cannot destroy it and put in its place another.
Swami Vivekananda
The first sign of your becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful
Swami Vivekananda
