Truth will never come into our minds so long as there will remain the faintest shadow of Ahamk?ra (egotism). All of you should try to root out this devil from your heart. Complete self-surrender is the only way to spiritual illumination.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Religion is the one and sole interest of the people of India.

It is practice first, and knowledge afterwards.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

It is weakness, says the Veda...

It is weakness, says the Vedanta, which is the cause of all misery in this world. Weakness is the one cause of suffering. We become miserable because we are weak. We lie, steal, kill and commit other crimes, because we are weak. We die because we are weak. Where there is nothing to weaken us, there is no death nor sorrow. We are miserable through delusion. Give up the delusion and the whole thing vanishes.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The will is stronger than any...

The will is stronger than anything else. Everything must go down before the will, for it comes from God. A pure and strong will is omnipotent.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

. . . it is difficult for Eur...

. . . it is difficult for Europeans to appreciate the sentiment. Other nations kill animals by wholesale and kill one another; they exist in a sea of blood. A European said that the reason why in India animals were not killed was because it was supposed that they contained the spirits of ancestors. This reason was worthy of a savage nation who are not many steps from the brute.

Marriage is the truest goal for ninety-nine per cent of the human race, and they will live the happiest life as soon as they have learnt and are ready to abide by the eternal lesson - that we are bound to bear and forbear and that life to every one must be a compromise.

It is the Prana that is manifesting as motion.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Some imaginations help to break the bondage of the rest. The whole universe is imagination, but one set of imaginations will cure another set. Those that tell us that there is sin and sorrow and death in the world are terrible. But the other set - thou art holy, there is God, there is no pain - these are good, and help to break the bondage of the others. The highest imagination that can break all the links of the chain is that of the Personal God.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Good works are continually being undone by the tons of hatred and anger which are being poured out on the world.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

[The seers call him wise] who...

[The seers call him wise] whose every attempt is free, without any desire for gain, without any selfishness.

Out of purity and silence comes the word of power.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Books never make religions, but religions make books. We must not forget that. No book ever created God, but God inspired all the great books. And no book ever created a soul.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Prana, according to the Vedan...

Prana, according to the Vedanta, is the principle of life. It is like ether, an omnipresent principle; and all motion, either in the body or anywhere else, is the work of this Prana. It is greater than Akasha, and through it everything lives. Prana is in the mother, in the father, in the sister, in the teacher, Prana is the knower.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Live for an ideal, and that o...

Live for an ideal, and that one ideal alone. Let it be so great, so strong, that there may be nothing else left in the mind; no place for anything else, no time for anything else.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

"Blessed are the pure in hear...

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Can we see God? Of course not. Can we know God? Of course not. If God can be known, He will be God no longer. Knowledge is limitation. But I and my Father are one: I find the reality in my soul. These ideas are expressed in some religions, and in others only hinted. In some they were expatriated. Christ's teachings are now very little understood in this country. If you will excuse me, I will say that they have never been very well understood.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Wait with patience and love a...

Wait with patience and love and strength. If helpers are not ready now, they will come in time. Why should we be in a hurry? The real working force of all great work is in its almost unperceived beginnings.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The Absolute God of the unive...

The Absolute God of the universe, the creator, preserver, and destroyer of the universe, is impersonal principle.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Those giants of old, the ancient Rishis, who never walked but strode, of whom if you were to think but for a moment you would shrivel up into a moth, they sir, had time-and you have no time!

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Those who work at a thing heart and soul not only achieve success in it but through their absorption in that they also realize the supreme truth-Brahman. Those who work at a thing with their whole heart receive help from God.
