Do you know how much energy, ...

Do you know how much energy, how many powers, how many forces, are still lurking behind that frame of yours? What scientist has known all that is in man? Millions of years have passed since man came here, and yet but one infinitesimal part of his powers has been manifested. Therefore, you must not say that you are weak. How do you know what possibilities lie behind that degradation on the surface? You know but little of that which is within you. For behind you is the ocean of infinite power and blessedness.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Everything progresses in wave...

Everything progresses in waves. The march of civilization, the progression of worlds, is in waves. All human activities likewise progress in waves - art, literature, science, religion.

Do you think these sannyasi children of Sri Ramakrishna are born to simply to sit under trees lighting dhuni-fires? Whenever any of them will take up some work, people will be astonished to see their energy. Learn from them how to work.

The attempt to remove evil from the world by killing a thousand evil - doers, only adds to the evil in the world.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Every idea has to become broa...

Every idea has to become broad till it covers the whole of this world, every aspiration must go on increasing till it has engulfed the whole of humanity, nay, the whole of life, within its scope.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The sum total of all the cell...

The sum total of all the cells in an organism is one person; so each soul is like one cell and the sum of them is God, and beyond that is the Absolute.

He who asserts he is free, shall be free. He who says he is bound, bound he shall remain.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

First get rid of the delusion...

First get rid of the delusion "I am the body," then only will we want real knowledge.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Those who die, merely sufferi...

Those who die, merely suffering the woes of life like cats and dogs, are they human beings? The worthy are those who, even when agitated by the sharp interaction of pleasure and pain, are discriminating and, knowing them to be of an evanescent nature, become passionately devoted to the Atman. This is all the difference between human beings and animals.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The power is with the silent ...

The power is with the silent ones, who only live and love and then withdraw their personality. They never say “me” and “mine”; they are only blessed in being instruments

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

I am a Hindu, I am proud to belong to a religion which has taught the world both tolerance and universal acceptance. We believe not only in universal toleration, but we accept all religions as true.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The same fire that cooks a me...

The same fire that cooks a meal for us may burn a child, and it is no fault of the fire if it does so; the difference lies in the way in which it is used.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Every soul is destined to be ...

Every soul is destined to be perfect, and every being, in the end, will attain the state of perfection.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Strength is life, Weakness is death.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Strength, strength for us. Wh...

Strength, strength for us. What we need is strength, who will give us strength? There are thousands to weaken us, and of stories we have had enough.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

It is the free alone which ne...

It is the free alone which never changes, and the unchangeable alone which is free; for change is produced by something exterior to a thing, or within itself, which is more powerful than the surroundings.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

It is the same India which ha...

It is the same India which has withstood the shocks of centuries, of hundreds of foreign invasions of hundreds of upheavals of manners and customs. It is the same land which stands firmer than any rock in the world, with its undying vigour, indestructible life. Its life is of the same nature as the soul, without beginning and without end, immortal; and we are the children of such a country.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

This misery that I am sufferi...

This misery that I am suffering is of my own doing, and that very thing proves that it will have to be undone by me alone.
