Superstition is great enemy of man but bigotry is worse.

I am a socialist not because I think it is a perfect system, but half a loaf is better than no bread. The other system has been tried and found wanting

The Hindus have a peculiar slovenliness in business matters, not being sufficiently methodical and strict in keeping accounts etc.

Delusion will vanish as the l...

Delusion will vanish as the light becomes more and more effulgent, load after load of ignorance will vanish, and then will come a time when all else has disappeared and the sun alone shines.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Look not back. No, not even i...

Look not back. No, not even if you see the dearest and nearest cry. Look not back, but forward. We cannot stop. If we stop we die. We have either to go forward or to go backward. We have either to progress or to degenerate.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

He who was Shri Rama, whose s...

He who was Shri Rama, whose stream of love flowed with resistless might even to the Chandala (the outcaste); Oh, who ever was engaged in doing good to the world though superhuman by nature, whose renown there is none to equal in the three worlds, Sita's beloved, whose body of Knowledge Supreme was covered by devotion sweet in the form of Sita. (part of A Hymn To Shri Ramakrishna)

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

My son, hold fast! Do not car...

My son, hold fast! Do not care for anybody to help you. Is not the Lord infinitely greater than all human help? Be holy--trust in the Lord, depend on him always, and you are on the right track. Nothing can prevail against you.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The very idea of an infinite ...

The very idea of an infinite in place would be a contradiction in terms, as a place must begin and continue in time.

The Jivanmukta ('the living free' or one who knows) alone is able to give real love, real charity, real truth, and it is truth alone that makes us free.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

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.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

"Learn good knowledge with al...

"Learn good knowledge with all devotion from the lowest caste. Learn the way to freedom, even if it comes from a Pariah, by serving him. If a woman is a jewel, take her in marriage even if she comes from a low family of the lowest caste." Such is the law laid down by our great and peerless legislator, the divine Manu.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Renunciation is always the id...

Renunciation is always the ideal of every race; only other races do not know what they are made to do by nature unconsciously.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

For the next fifty years this...

For the next fifty years this alone shall be our keynote - this, our great Mother India. Let all other vain gods disappear for the time from our minds. This is the only god that is awake, our own race - "everywhere his hands, everywhere his feet, everywhere his ears, he covers everything." All other gods are sleeping. What vain gods shall we go after and yet cannot worship the god that we see all round us, the Vir?t? When we have worshiped this, we shall be able to worship all other gods.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

If I am a Pariah, I will be all the more glad, for I am the disciple of a man, who - the Brahmin of Brahmins - wanted to cleanse the house of a Pariah. (here "the man" means Ramakrishna)

Nothing can be produced without a cause, and the effect is but the cause reproduced.
