It is love and love alone that I preach, and I base my teaching on the great Vedantic truth of the sameness and omnipresence of the Soul of the Universe.Swamy Vivekananda
Teach yourselves, teach everyone his real nature, call upon the sleeping soul and see how it awakes. Power will come, glory will come, goodness will come, purity will come, and everything that is excellent will come when this sleeping soul is roused to self-conscious activity.Swamy Vivekananda
If you want to have life, you have to die every moment for it. Life and death are only different expressions of the same thing looked at from different standpoints; they are the falling and the rising of the same wave, and the two form one whole.Swamy Vivekananda
If the mind is intensely eager, everything can be accomplished mountains can be crumbled into atoms.Swamy Vivekananda
Strength, strength it is that we want so much in this life, for what we call sin and sorrow have all one cause, and that is our weakness. With weakness comes ignorance, and with ignorance comes misery.Swamy Vivekananda
“It is our mental attitude which makes the world what it is for us. Our thoughts make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds.” Swamy Vivekananda
So long as millions live in hunger and ignorance, I hold every person a traitor who, having been educated at their expense, pays not the least heed to them.Swamy Vivekananda
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.Swamy Vivekananda
Each work has to pass through these stages -- ridicule, opposition, and then acceptance. Those who think ahead of their time are sure to be misunderstood. Swamy Vivekananda
Do not believe in a thing because you have read about it in a book. Do not believe in a thing because another man has said it was true. Do not believe in words because they are hallowed by tradition. Find out the truth for yourself. Reason it out. That is realization. Swamy Vivekananda
Talk to yourself once in a day otherwise you may miss meeting an excellent person in this world Swamy Vivekananda
Religion is the manifestation of the Divinity already in man. Swamy Vivekananda
Religion is realization; not talk, not doctrine, nor theories, however beautiful they may be. It is being and becoming, not hearing or acknowledging; it is the whole soul becoming changed into what it believes. Swamy Vivekananda
You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself. Swamy Vivekananda
We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far. Swamy Vivekananda
Rejoice with your family in the beautiful land of life!
If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it
Dare to be free, dare to go as far as your thought leads, and dare to carry that out in your life. Swamy Vivekananda
Ask nothing; want nothing in return. Give what you have to give; it will come back to you, but do not think of that now. Swamy Vivekananda
The great secret of true success, of true happiness, is this: the man or woman who asks for no return, the perfectly unselfish person, is the most successful.
Swamy Vivekananda
