More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
From the high spiritual flights of the Vedanta philosophy, of which the latest discoveries of science seem like echoes, to the low ideas of idolatry with its multifarious mythology, the agnosticism of the Buddhists and the atheism of the Jains, each and all have a place in the Hinduism religion.
Swami Vivekananda
The cause of today is the effect of the past and the cause for the future.
Swami Vivekananda
The Vedanta recognizes no sin it only recognizes error. And the greatest error, says the Vedanta is to say that you are weak, that you are a sinner, a miserable creature, and that you have no power and you cannot do this and that.
Swami Vivekananda
Whatever is weak, avoid! It is death.
Swami Vivekananda
The great lesson is, that unity is behind all. Call it God, Love, Spirit. Allah, Jehovah - it is the same unity that animates all life from the lowest animal to the noblest man.
Swami Vivekananda
As body, mind, or soul, you are a dream you really are Being, Consciousness, Bliss (satchidananda). You are the God of this universe.
Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda
The Vedas give information on various subjects. They have come together and form one book. And in later times, when other subjects were separated from religion - when astronomy and astrology were taken out of religion - these subjects, being connected with the Vedas and being ancient, were considered very holy.
Swami Vivekananda
Out of Mahat comes universal egoism.
Swami Vivekananda
The power of concentration is the only key to the treasure-house of knowledge.
Swami Vivekananda
Happiness presents itself to man, wearing the crown of sorrow on its head. He who welcomes it must also welcome sorrow.
Swami Vivekananda
Music alone can take you to the Highest!
Swami Vivekananda
There are the altars, but here is the greatest of altars, the living, conscious human body, and to worship at this altar is far higher than the worship of any dead symbols.
Swami Vivekananda
The wind of divine grace is always blowing. You just need to spread your sail. Whenever you do anything, do it with your whole heart concentrated on it. Think day and night, I am of the essence of that Supreme Being-Consciousness-Bliss. What fear and anxiety have I?
Swami Vivekananda
Cut the bondage of all worldly affections go beyond laziness and all care as to what becomes of you.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion in India culminates in freedom.
