The devil comes in many guise...

The devil comes in many guises-anger in the form of justice-passion in the form of duty. When it first comes, the man knows and then he forgets. Just as your pleaders' conscience; at first they know it is all Badmashi (roguery), then it is duty to their clients; at last they get hardened.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Each soul is potentially divi...

Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this divinity by controlling nature, external and internal. Do this either by work, or worship, or psychic control, or philosophy - by one, or more, or all of these - and be free. This is the whole of religion. Doctrines, or dogmas, or rituals, or books, or temples, or forms, are but secondary details.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The fire that warms us can al...

The fire that warms us can also consume us; it is not the fault of the fire.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Realize all this as illusion,...

Realize all this as illusion, realize that within the illusion is the Real.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Until we realise ourselves as...

Until we realise ourselves as the Absolute, we cannot attain to deliverance.

Rama, the ancient idol of the...

Rama, the ancient idol of the heroic ages, the embodiment of truth, of morality, the ideal son, the ideal husband, and above all, the ideal king, this Rama has been presented before us by the great sage Valmiki. No language can be purer, none chaster, none more beautiful, and at the same time simpler, than the language in which the great poet has depicted the life of Rama.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

There will never be a perfect...

There will never be a perfectly good or bad world, because the very idea is a contradiction in terms.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The human soul has sojourned ...

The human soul has sojourned in lower and higher forms, migrating from one to another according to the samskaras or impressions, but it is only in the highest form as a human being that it attains to freedom.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

You must also remember that t...

You must also remember that the world has God to govern it, and He has not left it to our charity. The Lord God is its Governor and Maintainer, and in spite of these wine fanatics and cigar fanatics, and all sorts of marriage fanatics, it would go on. If all these persons were to die, it would go on none the worse.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Every atom is working and res...

Every atom is working and resisting every thought in the mind. Everything we see and know is but the resultant of these two forces.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Life is short, and therefore,...

Life is short, and therefore, one thing being certain, death, let us take up a great ideal, and give up the whole life to it. For what is the value of life, this vegetating little low life of man? Subordinating it to one high ideal is the only value that life has.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

There is no power on earth wh...

There is no power on earth which can be kept long confined within a narrow limit. It cannot be kept compressed too long to allow of expansion at a subsequent period.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

According to the history of h...

According to the history of human progress, it is disobedience to nature that has constituted that progress.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

From Him are all name and for...

From Him are all name and form; all the animals and men are from Him. He is the one Supreme. He who knows Him becomes free.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Had I lived in Palestine, in the days of Jesus of Nazareth, I would have washed his feet, not with my tears, but with my heart's blood!

...oneness is the secret to everything.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

We want today that bright sun of intellectuality joined with the heart of Buddha, the wonderful infinite heart of love and mercy. This union will give us the highest philosophy.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

You yourself are to blame. Th...

You yourself are to blame. This weeping and wailing and knocking your heads into corners [against brick walls, as it were] will not do you the least good.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

One atom in this universe can...

One atom in this universe cannot move without dragging the whole world along with it. There cannot be any progress without the whole world following in the wake, and it is becoming every day dearer that the solution of any problem can never be attained on racial, or national, or narrow grounds.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The calm man is not the man w...

The calm man is not the man who is dull. You must not mistake Sattva for dullness or laziness. The calm man is the one who has control over the mind waves. Activity is the manifestation of inferior strength, calmness, of the superior.
