Your country requires heroe...

Your country requires heroes; be heroes; your duty is to go on working, and then everything will follow of itself.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

External motion we call actio...

External motion we call action; internal motion is human thought.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Thought is like a bubble risi...

Thought is like a bubble rising to the surface. When thought is joined to will, we call it power. That which strikes the sick person whom you are trying to help is not thought, but power.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

If a man, day and night, thin...

If a man, day and night, thinks he is miserable, low and nothing, nothing he becomes. If you say yea, yea, "I am, I am", so shall you be.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

It may be that I shall find i...

It may be that I shall find it good to get outside of my body - to cast it off like a disused garment. But I shall not cease to work! I shall inspire men everywhere, until the world shall know that it is one with God.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Know for certain that there i...

Know for certain that there is no power in the universe to injure us unless we first injure ourselves.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The moment you think creed an...

The moment you think creed and form and ceremony the "be-all" and "end-all", then you are in bondage. Take part in them to help others, but take care they do not become a bondage.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Do not say we are weak; we ca...

Do not say we are weak; we can do anything and everything. What can we not do? Everything can be done by us; we all have the same glorious soul, let us believe in it.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

My boat is nearing the calm h...

My boat is nearing the calm harbour from which it is never more to be driven out. Glory, glory unto Mother! (Referring to the Divine Mother of the Universe.) I have no wish, no ambition now. Blessed be Mother! I am the servant of Ramakrishna. I am merely a machine. I know nothing else. Nor do I want to know.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The book one must read to lea...

The book one must read to learn natural sciences is the book of nature. The book from which to learn religion is your own mind and heart.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Ahimsa (non-killing), truthfu...

Ahimsa (non-killing), truthfulness, purity, mercy, and godliness are always to be kept.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Work, my children, work with ...

Work, my children, work with your whole heart and soul! That is the thing. Mind not the fruit of work. What if you go to hell working for others? That is worth more than to gain heaven by seeking your own salvation... Sri Ramakrishna came and gave his life for the world. I will also sacrifice my life.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The animal man lives in the s...

The animal man lives in the senses. If he does not get enough to eat, he is miserable; or if something happens to his body, he is miserable. In the senses both his misery and his happiness begin and end.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

According to the law of natur...

According to the law of nature, wherever there is an awakening of a new and stronger life, there it tries to conquer and take the place of the old and the decaying. Nature favours the dying out of the unfit and the survival of the fittest. The final result of such conflict between the priestly and the other classes has been mentioned already.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Give up the awful disease tha...

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

Pay particular attention to y...

Pay particular attention to your health, but too much coddling of the body will, on the contrary, also spoil the health.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Some people are so afraid of ...

Some people are so afraid of losing their individuality. Wouldn't it be better for the pig to lose his pig-individuality if he can become God? Yes. But the poor pig does not think so at the time. Which state is my individuality? When I was a baby sprawling on the floor trying to swallow my thumb? Was that the individuality I should be sorry to lose? Fifty years hence I shall look upon this present state and laugh, just as I now look upon the baby state. Which of these individualities shall I keep?

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

No study has taken so much of...

No study has taken so much of human energy, whether in times past or present, as the study of the soul, of God, and of human destiny.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

If there be no eternal life, ...

If there be no eternal life, still the enjoyment of spiritual thoughts as ideals is keener and makes a man happier, whilst the foolery of materialism leads to competition and undue ambition and ultimate death, individual and national.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

These tremendous contradictio...

These tremendous contradictions in our intellect, in our knowledge, yea, in all the facts of our life face us on all sides.
