More quotes by Swami Vivekananda

Image
Be moral. Be brave. Be a heart-whole man, strictly moral, brave unto desperation. Don't bother your head with religious theories. Cowards only sin, brave men never, no, not even in mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Why should a Man be Moral? Because this strengthens his will.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Meditation means the mind is turned back upon itself. The mind stops all the thought-waves and the world stops. Your consciousness expands. Every time you meditate you will keep your growth.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Who shall make me perfect? I am perfect already.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
There is no end to the power a man can obtain.
Swami Vivekananda

Where can we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The Heart and core of everything here is good, that whatever may be the surface waves, deep down and underlying everything, there is an infinite basis of Goodness and Love.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
This perfection must come through the practice of holiness and love.
Swami Vivekananda

Do not say, ‘You are bad’ say only, ‘You are good’, but be better!
Swami Vivekananda

We are all born cowards.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Motion is always a relative thing. I move in relation to something else. Any particle in this universe can change in relation to any other particle but take the whole universe as one, and in relation to what can it move? There is nothing besides it. So this infinite Unit is unchangeable, immovable, absolute, and this is the Real Man.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Thinking of objects, attachment to them is formed in a man. From attachment longing, and from longing anger grows.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Mankind ought to be taught that religions are but the varied expressions of THE RELIGION, which is Oneness, so that each may choose the path that suits him best.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Charity is great, but the moment you say it is all, you run the risk of running into materialism.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The only way to study the mind is to get at facts, and then intellect will arrange them and deduce the principles.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Who makes us ignorant? We ourselves. We put our hands over our eyes and weep that it is dark.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Highest love for God can never be achieved without renunciation.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Meditation is the means of unification of the subject and object. Meditate.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
It is not that Christ is superior to Allah, not that Allah is everything and Brahma is nothing, but it is the same one whom you call either Brahma or Allah, or Almighty, or by a hundred other names. The names are different but God is one and the same.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
A sapling must be hedged about for protection, but when it becomes a tree, a hedge would be a hindrance. So there is no need to criticise and condemn the old forms.
