Where God is, there is no oth...

Where God is, there is no other. Where world is, there is no God. These two will never unite. Like light and darkness.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

A certain motion becomes unde...

A certain motion becomes understood when it is referred to a force; certain sensations, to matter; certain changes outside, to law; certain changes in thought, to mind; certain order singly, to causation - and joined to time, to law.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The one eternal religion is a...

The one eternal religion is applied to the opinions of various minds and various races. There never was my religion or yours, my national religion or your national religion; there never existed many religions, there is only the one. One infinite religion existed all through eternity and will ever exist, and this religion is expressing itself in various countries in various ways.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

What the world wants today is...

What the world wants today is twenty men and women who can dare to stand in the street yonder and say that they possess nothing but God. Who will go? Why should one fear? If this is true, what else could matter? If it is not true, what do our lives matter?

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

If you intend to study the mi...

If you intend to study the mind, you must have systematic training; you must practice to bring the mind under your control, to attain to that consciousness from which you will be able to study the mind and remain unmoved by any of its wild gyrations. Otherwise the facts observed will not be reliable; they will not apply to all people and therefore will not be truly facts or data at all.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

We never want Him. We say, "L...

We never want Him. We say, "Lord, give me a fine house." We want the house, not Him. "Give me health! Save me from this difficulty!" When a man wants nothing but Him, [he gets Him].

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Forget not that thy marriage,...

Forget not that thy marriage, thy wealth, thy life are not for sense-pleasure, are not for thy individual personal happiness.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

I want to start two instituti...

I want to start two institutions, one in Madras and one in Calcutta, to carry out my plan; and that plan briefly is to bring the Vedantic ideals into the everyday practical life of the saint or the sinner, of the sage or the ignoramus, of the Brahmin or the Pariah.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Jiva (individual soul) is the...

Jiva (individual soul) is the conscious ruler of this body, in whom the five life principles come into unity, and yet that very Jiva is the Atman, because all is Atman.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Purusha is the; great attract...

Purusha is the; great attraction of the universe; though untouched by and unconnected with the universe, yet it attracts the whole; universe.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

They alone live whose lives a...

They alone live whose lives are in the whole universe, and the more we concentrate our lives on limited things, the faster we go towards death. Those moments alone we live when our lives are in the universe, in others; and living this little life is death, simply death, and that is why the fear of death comes.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

In this world we find that al...

In this world we find that all happiness is followed by misery as its shadow. Life has its shadow, death. They must go together, because they are not contradictory, not two separate existences, but different manifestations of the same unit, life and death, sorrow and happiness, good and evil.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

So long as there is desire or...

So long as there is desire or want, it is a sure sign that there is imperfection. A perfect, free being cannot have any desire.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

"Face the brutes." That is a ...

"Face the brutes." That is a lesson for all life-face the terrible, face it boldly. Like the monkeys, the hardships of life fall back when we cease to flee before them.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

How can there be any progress...

How can there be any progress of the country without the spread of education, the dawning of knowledge?

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

It is the duty of every person to contribute in the development and progress of India.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The Vedas teach that the soul...

The Vedas teach that the soul is divine, only held in the bondage of matter; perfection will be reached when this bond will burst, and the word they use for it is, therefore, Mukti - freedom, freedom from the bonds of imperfection, freedom from death and misery.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Come out into the broad light...

Come out into the broad light of day, come out from the little narrow paths, for how can the infinite soul rest content to live and die in small ruts?

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Truth, purity, and unselfishn...

Truth, purity, and unselfishness wherever these are present, there is no power below or above the sun to crush the possessor thereof. Equipped with these, one individual is able to face the whole universe in opposition.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

From the highest god to the m...

From the highest god to the meanest grass, the same power is present in all - whether manifested or not. We shall have to call forth that power by going from door to door.
