The Older I grow, the more everything seems to me to lie in manliness. This is my new gospel

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Yes, the words of the Mother ...

Yes, the words of the Mother can be heard as clearly as we hear one another. But one requires a fine nerve to hear Mother's words.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Give up all desire for enjoym...

Give up all desire for enjoyment in earth or heaven. Control the organs of the senses and control the mind. Bear every misery without even knowing that you are miserable. Think of nothing but spiritual freedom.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

YOU know, I may have to be bo...

YOU know, I may have to be born again, you see, I have fallen in love with mankind.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

To his enemies the householde...

To his enemies the householder must be a hero. Them he must resist. That is the duty of the householder. He must not sit down in a corner and weep, and talk nonsense about non-resistance. If he does not show himself a hero to his enemies he has not done his duty.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The great Vaishnava religion ...

The great Vaishnava religion of India has also sprung from a Tamil Pariah - Shathakopa - "who was a dealer in winnowing-fans but was a Yogin all the while".

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

It is impossible to think abo...

It is impossible to think about the welfare of the world unless the condition of women is improved. It is impossible for a bird to fly on only one wing.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

To realize the spirit as spir...

To realize the spirit as spirit is practical religion. Everything else is good so far as it leads to this one grand idea.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Was there ever a more horribl...

Was there ever a more horrible blasphemy than the statement that all the knowledge of God is confined to this or that book? How dare men call God infinite, and yet try to compress Him within the covers of a little book!

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

That is the great fact which ...

That is the great fact which you ought to remember. We are the children of the Almighty, we are sparks of the infinite, divine fire. How can we be nothings? We are everything, ready to do everything, we can do everything, and man must do everything.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Principles must conquer in th...

Principles must conquer in the long run, for that is the manhood of man.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Karma is the eternal assertio...

Karma is the eternal assertion of human freedom. . . . Our thoughts, our words, and deeds are the threads of the net which we throw around ourselves.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The one theme of the Vedanta ...

The one theme of the Vedanta philosophy is the search after unity. The Hindu mind does not care for the particular; it is always after the general, nay, the universal. "what is it that by knowing which everything else is to be known." That is the one search.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Only love for the Supreme Lor...

Only love for the Supreme Lord is true Bhakti. Love for any other being, however great, is not Bhakti. The "Supreme Lord" here means Ishvara, the concept of which transcends what you in the West mean by the personal God. "He from whom this universe proceeds, in whom it rests, and to whom it returns, He is Ishvara, the Eternal, the Pure, the All-Merciful, the Almighty, the Ever-Free, the All-Knowing, the Teacher of all teachers, the Lord who of His own nature is inexpressible Love."

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Any particle in this universe...

Any particle in this universe can change in relation to any other particle; but take the whole universe as one.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

All great undertakings are ac...

All great undertakings are achieved through mighty obstacles. Keep up the deepest mental poise. Take not even the slightest notice of what puerile creatures may be saying against you.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Look here — we shall all die!...

Look here — we shall all die! Bear this in mind always, and then the spirit within will wake up. Then only, meanness will vanish from you, practicality in work will come, you will get new vigour in mind and body, and those who come in contact with you will also feel that they have really got something uplifting from you.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Take courage and work on. Pat...

Take courage and work on. Patience and steady work - this is the only way. Go on; remember - patience and purity and courage and steady work. . . . So long as you are pure, and true to your principles, you will never fail.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

We are ever free if we would ...

We are ever free if we would only believe it, only have faith enough. You are the soul, free and eternal, ever free, ever blessed. Have faith enough and you will be free in a minute.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

All who have actually attaine...

All who have actually attained any real religious experience never wrangle over the form in which the different religions are expressed. They know that the soul of all religions is the same and so they have no quarrel with anybody just because he or she does not speak in the same tongue.
