More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
I do not care what philosophy you take up only I am ready to prove here that throughout the whole of India, there runs a mutual and cordial string of eternal faith in the perfection of humanity, and I believe in it myself. And let that faith be spread over the whole land.
Swami Vivekananda
The test of progress is the amount of renunciation that one has attained.
Swami Vivekananda
None deserves liberty who is not ready to give liberty
Swami Vivekananda
Free thyself from the mighty attraction- The maddening wine of love, the charm of sex. Break the harp! Forward, with the ocean's cry!. . .
Swami Vivekananda
In a conflict between the heart and the brain, follow your heart.
Swami Vivekananda
If a man, day and night, thinks he is miserable, low and nothing, nothing he becomes. If you say yea, yea, I am, I am, so shall you be.
Swami Vivekananda
Be strong, my young friends that is my advice to you.
Swami Vivekananda
Why are people so afraid? The answer is that they have made themselves helpless and dependent on others. We are so lazy, we do not want to do anything ourselves. We want a Personal God, a Savior or a Prophet to do everything for us.
Swami Vivekananda
Know this also to be one of the spiritual practices, a discipline for God - realisation. Its aim also is Self - realisation.
Swami Vivekananda
We are ever free if we would only believe it, only have faith enough.
Swami Vivekananda
Let the churches preach doctrines, theories, philosophies to their hearts' content, but when it comes to worship, the real practical part of religion, it should be as Jesus says, When thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret.
Swami Vivekananda
. . . Wait, my child, wait and work on. Patience, patience. . . . .
Swami Vivekananda
This world is not for cowards.
Swami Vivekananda
Man the infinite dreamer, dreaming finite dreams!
Swami Vivekananda
This rascal ego must be obliterated.
Swami Vivekananda
Buddha taught kindness towards lower beings and since then there has not been a sect in India that has not taught charity to all beings, even to animals. This kindness, this mercy, this charity - greater than any doctrine - are what Buddhism left to us.
Swami Vivekananda
In real meditation you forget the body. You may be cut to pieces and not feel it at all. You feel such pleasure in it. You become so light. This perfect rest we will get in meditation.
Swami Vivekananda
Forget not that thy marriage, thy wealth, thy life are not for sense-pleasure, are not for thy individual personal happiness.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion in India culminates in freedom.
Swami Vivekananda
Even the lowest of the low have the Atman (Soul) inside, which never dies and never is born, immortal, without beginning or end, the all pure, omnipotent and omnipresent Atman!
Swami Vivekananda
