Perfection is always infinite...

Perfection is always infinite. We are the Infinite already. You and I, and all beings, are trying to manifest that infinity.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Whenever power is used for ev...

Whenever power is used for evil, it becomes diabolical; it must be used for good only.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Know full well that patience ...

Know full well that patience is the best means of succeeds.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The whole universe is compose...

The whole universe is composed of name and form. Whatever we see is either a compound of name and form, or simply name with form which is a mental image.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The nearer we are to God, the...

The nearer we are to God, the less we will have occasions to cry or weep. The further we are from God, the more will long faces come. The more we know God, the more misery vanishes.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The natural ambition of woman...

The natural ambition of woman is through marriage to climb up, leaning upon a man; but those days are gone. You shall be great without the help of any man, just as you are.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The vapour becomes snow, then...

The vapour becomes snow, then water, then Ganga; but when it is vapour, there is no Ganga, and when it is water, we think of no vapour in it. The idea of creation or change is inseparably connected with will. So long as we perceive this world in motion, we have to conceive will behind it.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Avoid excessive merriment. A ...

Avoid excessive merriment. A mind in that state never becomes calm; it becomes fickle. Excessive merriment will always be followed by sorrow. Tears and laughter are near kin. People so often run from one extreme to the other.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Neither numbers nor powers no...

Neither numbers nor powers nor wealth nor learning nor eloquence nor anything else will prevail, but purity, living the life, in one word, anubhuti, realisation. Let there be a dozen such lion-souls in each country, lions who have broken their own bonds, who have touched the Infinite, whose whole soul is gone to Brahman, who care neither for wealth nor power nor fame, and these will be enough to shake the world.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

In these days of intellectual...

In these days of intellectual awakening and steadily asserting public opinion, the holy places of the Hindus, their condition, and method of work have not escaped tile keen eye of criticism; and this city, being the holy of holies to all Hindus, has not failed to attract its full share of censure.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

We have not faith, we have no...

We have not faith, we have not patience to see this. We trust the man in the street; but there is one being in the universe we never trust and that is God. We trust Him when He works just our way. But the time will come when, getting blow after blow, the self - sufficient mind will die. In everything we do, the serpent ego is rising up. We are glad that there are so many thorns on the path. They strike the hood of the cobra.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Realize your true nature. Tha...

Realize your true nature. That is all there is to do. Know yourself as you are - infinite Spirit. That is practical religion. Everything else is impractical, for everything else will perish.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Children of those ancient Ary...

Children of those ancient Aryans, through the grace of the Lord may you have the same pride, may that faith in your ancestors come into your blood, may it become a part and parcel of your lives, may it work towards the salvation of the world!

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

He who always thinks himself ...

He who always thinks himself as weak will never become strong, but he who knows himself to be a lion, rushes out from the worlds meshes, as a lion from its cage.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Strength and manliness are vi...

Strength and manliness are virtue; weakness and cowardice are sin.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Do not blame any supernatural...

Do not blame any supernatural being, neither be hopeless and despondent, nor think we are in a place from which we can never escape unless someone comes and lends us a helping hand.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

As soon as I think that I am ...

As soon as I think that I am a little body, I want to preserve it, to protect it, to keep it nice, at the expense of other bodies; then you and I become separate.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Know this also to be one of t...

Know this also to be one of the spiritual practices, a discipline for God - realisation. Its aim also is Self - realisation.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Die in obeying commands like ...

Die in obeying commands like a soldier, and go to Nirvana, but no cowardice.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

All these disciplines are for...

All these disciplines are for the purification of the heart. And as soon as it is pure, all truths flash upon it in a minute; all truth in the universe will manifest in your heart, if you are sufficiently pure.
