More quotes by Swami Vivekananda

Image
My boat is nearing the calm harbour from which it is never more to be driven out. Glory, glory unto Mother! (Referring to the Divine Mother of the Universe.) I have no wish, no ambition now. Blessed be Mother! I am the servant of Ramakrishna. I am merely a machine. I know nothing else. Nor do I want to know.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all good things will be added unto you. Follow God and you shall have whatever you desire.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I stand for truth. Truth will never ally itself with falsehood. Even if all the world should be against me, Truth must prevail in the end.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Be moral. Be brave. Be a heart-whole man, strictly moral, brave unto desperation. Don't bother your head with religious theories. Cowards only sin, brave men never, no, not even in mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Worship of society and popular opinion is idolatry.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Only by practice and non-attachment can we conquer mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
A sapling must be hedged about for protection, but when it becomes a tree, a hedge would be a hindrance. So there is no need to criticise and condemn the old forms.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We have either to progress or to degenerate. Our ancestors did great things in the past, but we have to grow into a fuller life and march beyond even their great achievements.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We do not seek to thrust the principles of our religion upon anyone. The fundamental principles of our religion forbid that.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Where no bondage is, there is no cause and effect.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Books never make religions, but religions make books. We must not forget that. No book ever created God, but God inspired all the great books. And no book ever created a soul.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Internal and external nature, mind and matter, are in time and space, and are bound by the law of causation.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
He whom the sages have been seeking in all these places is in our own hearts the voice that you heard was right, says Vedanta, but the direction you gave to the voice was wrong.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
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
Image
If you can get rid of your attachment to a single thing, you are on the way to liberation.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
According to us, there are three things in the makeup of man. There is the body, there is the mind, and there is the soul.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
One possessing Vairagya does not understand by Atman the individual ego but the All-pervading Lord, residing as the Self and Internal Ruler in all. He is perceivable by all as the sum total.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Hold on to your own ideal. . . . Above all, never attempt to guide or rule others, or, as the Yankees say, boss others. Be the servant of all.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
In a day, when you don't come across any problems - you can be sure that you are travelling in a wrong path
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Man stands in materialism you and I are materialists. Our talking about God and Spirit is good but it is simply the vogue in our society to talk thus: we have learnt it parrot-like and repeat it.
