Quote

What is the use of talking of one's mistakes to the world? They cannot thereby be undone. For what one has done one must suffer one must try and do better. The world sympathizes only with the strong and the powerful.

Gita and Ganga constitute the essence of Hinduism one its theory and the other its practice.
Swami Vivekananda

Who shall make me perfect? I am perfect already.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The nearer we are to God, the less we will have occasions to cry or weep. The further we are from God, the more will long faces come. The more we know God, the more misery vanishes.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Motion is always a relative thing. I move in relation to something else. Any particle in this universe can change in relation to any other particle but take the whole universe as one, and in relation to what can it move? There is nothing besides it. So this infinite Unit is unchangeable, immovable, absolute, and this is the Real Man.

Swami Vivekananda

Delusion will vanish as the light becomes more and more effulgent, load after load of ignorance will vanish, and then will come a time when all else has disappeared and the sun alone shines.

Swami Vivekananda

This is the one great idea to understand that our power is already ours, our salvation is already within us.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Buddha and Christ were second-rate heroes. The greatest men that ever live pass away unknown. They put forth no claims for themselves, establish no schools or systems in their name. They never create any stir but just melt down in love.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Until we realise ourselves as the Absolute, we cannot attain to deliverance.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The Hindus have to learn a little bit of materialism from the West and teach them a little bit of spirituality.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Even books are nurses, medicines are nurses. But we must work to bring about the time when man shall recognise his mastery over his own body. Herbs and medicines have power over us as long as we allow them when we become strong, these external methods are no more necessary.
