Even the least work done for others awakens the power within.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Man is guided by the stomach. He walks and the stomach goes first and the head afterwards. Have you not seen that? It will take ages for the head to go first.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Say to your own minds, I am He, I am He. Let it ring day and night in your minds like a song, and at the point of death declare : I am He. That is truth the infinite strength of the world is yours.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
A wave in the ocean is a wave, only in so far as it is bound by name and form.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The test of having ceased to be an idolater is: When you say 'I', does the body come into your thought or not? If it does, then you are still a worshipper of idols.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Religion for a long time has come to be static in India. What we want is to make it dynamic. I want it to be brought into the life of everybody.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
It is faith that makes a lion of a man.
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
The Land where humanity has attained its highest towards gentleness, towards generosity, towards purity, towards calmness - it is India.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Wherever in any society there are too many laws, it is a sure sign that that society will soon die. If you study the characteristics of India, you will find that no nation possesses so many laws as the Hindus, and national death is the result.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
This life is a tremendous assertion of freedom
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Ignorance is death, knowledge is life. Life is of very little value, if it is a life in the dark, groping through ignorance and misery.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
When we free ourselves from name and form, especially from a body - when we need no body, good or bad - then only do we escape from bondage.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
All real progress must be slow.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We must be bright and cheerful. Long faces do not make religion. Religion should be the most joyful thing in the world, because it is the best.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Infinite patience, infinite purity, and infinite perseverance are the secret of success in a good cause.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Let people say whatever they like, stick to your own convictions, and rest assured, the world will be at your feet. They say, Have faith in this fellow or that fellow, but I say, Have faith in yourself first, that's the way. Have faith in yourself-all power is in you-be conscious and bring it out. Say, I can do everything.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The Atman alone is eternal. Hospitals will tumble down. Railroad givers will all die. This earth will be blown to pieces, suns wiped out. The Atman endures for ever.

None deserves liberty who is not ready to give liberty
Swami Vivekananda

Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.
