More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
The vapour becomes snow, then water, then Ganga but when it is vapour, there is no Ganga, and when it is water, we think of no vapour in it. The idea of creation or change is inseparably connected with will. So long as we perceive this world in motion, we have to conceive will behind it.
Swami Vivekananda
May the Lord ordain that your son becomes a man, and never a coward!
Swami Vivekananda
How do you know what possibilities lie behind that degradation on the surface? You know but little of that which is within you. For behind you is the ocean of infinite power and blessedness.
Swami Vivekananda
Have faith that you are all, my brave lads, born to do great things! Let not the barks of puppies frighten you, no, not even the thunderbolts of heaven, but stand up and work!
Swami Vivekananda
Relationships are more important than life,but it is important for those relationships to have life in them
Swami Vivekananda
Every Hindu knows that astrologers try to fix the caste of every boy or girl as soon as he or she is born. That is the real caste - the individuality, and Jyotisha (astrology) recognises that. And we can only rise by giving it full sway again. This variety does not mean inequality, nor any special privilege.
Swami Vivekananda
The benefits of knowledge can only be realized in practice.
Swami Vivekananda
If there is one word that you find coming out like a bomb from the Upanishads, bursting like a bombshell upon masses of ignorance, it is the word fearlessness.
Swami Vivekananda
Brave, bold people, these are what we want.
Swami Vivekananda
It is the want that creates the body.
Swami Vivekananda
There may be a million microbes of misery floating about us. Never mind! They dare not approach us, they have no power to get a hold on us, until the mind is weakened.
Swami Vivekananda
We must have life building, man-making, character-making assimilation of ideas.
Swami Vivekananda
When you talk and think of the Absolute, you have to do it in the relative so all these logical arguments apply.
Swami Vivekananda
Cowardice is no virtue.
Swami Vivekananda
All these disciplines are for the purification of the heart. And as soon as it is pure, all truths flash upon it in a minute all truth in the universe will manifest in your heart, if you are sufficiently pure.
Swami Vivekananda
He who wants to become a Bhakta must be strong, must be healthy.
Swami Vivekananda
Everybody is changing.
Swami Vivekananda
Are great things ever done smoothly? Time, patience, and indomitable will must show.
Swami Vivekananda
Our religion teaches that anger is a great sin, even if it is righteous.
Swami Vivekananda
Here in this blessed land, the foundation, the backbone, the life-centre is religion and religion alone.
Swami Vivekananda
