More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
A man must not only have faith but intellectual faith too. To make a man take up everything and believe it, would be to make him a lunatic.
Swami Vivekananda
The Tapas and the other hard Yogas that were practiced in other Yugas do not work now. What is needed in this Yuga is giving, helping others.
Swami Vivekananda
We must not forget that what I mean by the conquest of the world by spiritual thought is the sending out of the life-giving principles, not the hundreds of superstitions that we have been hugging to our breasts for centuries.
Swami Vivekananda
One thing I must tell you. Idolatry in India does not mean anything horrible. It is not the mother of harlots.
Swami Vivekananda
Stand up, be bold, and take the blame on your own shoulders. Do not go about throwing mud at others for all the faults you suffer from, you are the sole and only cause.
Swami Vivekananda
Astrology and all these mystical things are generally signs of a weak mind
Swami Vivekananda
Praise and blame, good and bad, even heat and cold, must be equally acceptable to us.
Swami Vivekananda
Everything progresses in waves. The march of civilization, the progression of worlds, is in waves. All human activities likewise progress in waves - art, literature, science, religion.
Swami Vivekananda
There is this difference between the love taught by Christianity and that taught by Hinduism: Christianity teaches us to love our neighbours as we should wish them to love us Hinduism asks us to love them as ourselves, in fact to see ourselves in them.
Swami Vivekananda
Why should a Man be Moral? Because this strengthens his will.
Swami Vivekananda
Our duty is to encourage every one in his struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same time to make the ideal as near as possible to the Truth.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion is the peculiarity of the growth of the Indian mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Present-day Hinduism and Buddhism were growths from the same branch. Buddhism degenerated, and Shankara lopped it off!
Swami Vivekananda
When an idea exclusively occupies the mind, it is transformed into an actual physical or mental state.
Swami Vivekananda
This is the secret of spiritual life: to think that I am the Atman and not the body, and that the whole of this universe with all its relations, with all its good and all its evil, is but as a series of paintings...scenes on a canvas...of which I am the witness.
Swami Vivekananda
A few heart-whole, sincere, and energetic men and women can do more in a year than a mob in a century.
Swami Vivekananda
What we want is progress, development, realisation.
Swami Vivekananda
Whatever you believe, that you will be. If you believe yourselves to be sages, sages you will be tomorrow. There is nothing to obstruct you.
Swami Vivekananda
The earth is enjoyed by heroes”—this is the unfailing truth. Be a hero. Always say, “I have no fear.
Swami Vivekananda
Everything is easy when you are busy. But nothing is easy when you are lazy.
Swami Vivekananda
