Man as Atman is really free; as man he is bound, changed by every physical condition.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Bold words and bolder deeds a...

Bold words and bolder deeds are what we want. Awake, awake, great ones! The world is burning with misery. Can you sleep?

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

We want to worship a living G...

We want to worship a living God. I have not seen anything but God all my life, nor have you... He is everywhere, saying, "I am." The moment you feel "I am," you are conscious of Existence. Where shall we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being?

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

We are all the time, from our...

We are all the time, from our childhood, trying to lay the blame upon something outside ourselves. We are always standing up to set right other people, and not ourselves. If we are miserable, we say, "Oh, the world is a devil's world." We curse others and say, "What infatuated fools!" But why should we be in such a world, if we really are so good? If this is a devil's world, we must be devils also; why else should we be here? "Oh, the people of the world are so selfish!" True enough; but why should we be found in that company, if we be better? Just think of that.

Slavery is slavery. The chain of gold is quite as bad as the chain of iron. Is there a way out?

One ounce of practice is worth a thousand pounds of theory.

An atheist can be charitable but not religious. But the religious man must be charitable.

Every action that helps us manifest our divine nature more and more is good; every action that retards it is evil.

The ego of man and woman is the soul. If the soul is independent, how then can it be isolated from the infinite whole?

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Each man is divine. Each man ...

Each man is divine. Each man that you see is a God by his very nature.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Buddha taught kindness toward...

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.

What can be my highest idea of forgiveness? Nothing beyond myself. Which of you can jump out of your own bodies? Which of you can jump out of your own minds? Not one of you.

The effect is delusion, and therefore the cause must be delusion.

The book is all in us. Fool, hearest not thou? In thine own heart day and night is singing that Eternal Music - Sachchid?nanda, soham, soham - Existence-Knowledge-Bliss Absolute, I am He, I am He.

See how the Ganga flows by and what a nice building! I like this place. This is the ideal kind of place for a Math. (in Belur, West Bengal).

Unselfishness is God. One may...

Unselfishness is God. One may live on a throne, in a golden palace, and be perfectly unselfish; and then he is in God. Another may live in a hut and wear rags, and have nothing in the world; yet, if he is selfish, he is intensely merged in the world.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

You nourish your minds by rea...

You nourish your minds by reading books. There is no good in doing that unless you hold it also as a sacrifice to the whole world. For the whole world is one; you are rated a very insignificant part of it, and therefore it is right for you that you should serve your millions of brothers rather than aggrandise this little self

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Whether dualistic, qualified ...

Whether dualistic, qualified monistic, or monistic, they all firmly believe that everything is in the soul itself; it has only to come out and manifest itself. Therefore, this shraddha is what I want, and what all of us here want, this faith in ourselves, and before you is the great task to get that faith. Give up the awful disease that is creeping, into our national blood, that idea of ridiculing everything, that loss of seriousness. Give that up. Be strong and have this shraddha, and everything else is bound to follow.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Jesus Christ was God - the Pe...

Jesus Christ was God - the Personal God become man. He has manifested Himself many times in different forms and these alone are what you can worship. God in His absolute nature is not to be worshipped. Worshipping such God would be nonsense. We have to worship Jesus Christ, the human manifestation, as God. You cannot worship anything higher than the manifestation of God. The sooner you give up the worship of God separate from Christ, the better for you.

The finer is always the cause, the grosser the effect. So the external world is the effect, the internal the cause.
