Brave, bold people, these are what we want.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Think of a space in your hear...

Think of a space in your heart, and in the midst of that space think that a flame is burning. Think of that a flame is burning. Think of that flame as your own soul and inside the flame is another effulgent light, and that is the Soul of your soul, God. Meditate upon that in the heart.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

If there is inequality in nat...

If there is inequality in nature, still there must be equal chance for all - or if greater for some and for some less - the weaker should be given more chance than the strong. In other words, a Brahmin is not so much in need of education as a Chandala. If the son of a Brahmin needs one teacher, that of a Chandala needs ten. For greater help must be given to him whom nature has not endowed with an acute intellect from birth. It is a madman who carries coals to Newcastle. The poor, the downtrodden, the ignorant, let these be your God.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

All action of Sattva, a modif...

All action of Sattva, a modification of Prakriti characterised by light and happiness, is for the soul. When Sattva is free from egoism and illuminated with the pure intelligence of Purusha, it is called the self-centred one, because in that state it becomes independent of all relations.

Infinite patience, infinite purity, and infinite perseverance are the secret of success in a good cause.

Every idea that strengthens you must be taken up and every thought that weakens you must be rejected.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

I am in every religion as the...

I am in every religion as the thread through a string of pearls. Wherever thou seest extraordinary holiness and extraordinary power raising and purifying humanity, know thou that I am there.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

This, I have seen in life - t...

This, I have seen in life - those who are overcautious about themselves fall into dangers at every step. Those who are afraid of losing honor and respect, get only disgrace; and those who are always afraid of loss, always lose.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Let us worship the spirit in ...

Let us worship the spirit in spirit, standing on spirit. Let the foundation be spirit, the middle spirit, the culmination spirit.

The glory of man is that he is a thinking being. It is the nature of man to think and therein he differs from animals

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Wherever in any society there...

Wherever in any society there are too many laws, it is a sure sign that that society will soon die. If you study the characteristics of India, you will find that no nation possesses so many laws as the Hindus, and national death is the result.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

We do not seek to thrust the principles of our religion upon anyone. The fundamental principles of our religion forbid that.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Each nation has a main current in life; in India it is religion. Make it strong and the waters on either side must move along with it.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

If you are a strong man, very...

If you are a strong man, very good! But do not curse others who are not strong enough for you. ...Everyone says, "Woe unto you people!!" Who says, "Woe unto me that I cannot help you?" The people are doing all right to the best of their ability and means and knowledge. Woe unto me that I cannot lift them to where I am!

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

We first observe facts, then ...

We first observe facts, then generalise, and then draw conclusions or principles.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

How has all the knowledge in ...

How has all the knowledge in the world been gained but by the concentration of the powers of the mind? The world is ready to give up its secrets if we only know how to knock, how to give it the necessary blow. The strength and force of the blow come through concentration. There is no limit to the power of the human mind. The more concentrated it is, the more power is brought to bear on one point; that is the secret.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

In the primal state before an...

In the primal state before any manifestation, when there was no motion but perfect balance, this Prakriti was indestructible, because decomposition or death comes from instability or change.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Perfection does not come from...

Perfection does not come from belief or faith. Talk does not count for anything. Parrots can do that. Perfection comes through the disinterested performance of action.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

There is this difference betw...

There is this difference between the love taught by Christianity and that taught by Hinduism: Christianity teaches us to love our neighbours as we should wish them to love us; Hinduism asks us to love them as ourselves, in fact to see ourselves in them.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Feel, my children, feel; feel...

Feel, my children, feel; feel for the poor, the ignorant, the downtrodden; feel till the heart stops and the brain reels and you think you will go mad; then pour the soul out at the feet of the Lord, and then will come power, help and indomitable energy.
