Nature, body, mind go to deat...

Nature, body, mind go to death, not we. We neither go nor come. The man Vivekananda is in nature, is born and dies. But the Self we see as Vivekananda is never born and never dies. It is the eternal and unchangeable Reality.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Because the Soul is not made ...

Because the Soul is not made of matter, since it is spiritual, it cannot obey the laws of matter, it cannot be judged by the laws of matter.

Be strong! Don't talk of ghosts and devils.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Let us work without desire for name or fame or rule over others. Let us be free from the triple bonds of lust, greed of gain, and anger. And this truth is with us!

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Behind my work was ambition, ...

Behind my work was ambition, behind my love was personality, behind my purity was fear, behind my guidance the thirst for power. Now they are vanishing and I drift. I come, Mother, I come, in Thy warm bosom, floating wheresoever Thou takest me, in the voiceless, in the strange, in the wonderland, I come - a spectator, no more an actor.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

With the Holy Mother as the c...

With the Holy Mother as the centre of inspiration, a Math is to be established on the eastern bank of the Ganga. . . . On the other side of the Ganga a big plot of land will be acquired, where unmarried girls or Brahmacharini widows will live; devout married women will also be allowed to stay now and then. Men will have no concern with this Math.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

If the whole responsibility i...

If the whole responsibility is thrown upon our own shoulders, we shall be at our highest and best; when we have nobody to grope towards, no devil to lay our blame upon, no Personal God to carry our burdens, when we are alone responsible, then we shall rise to our highest and best. I am responsible for my fate, I am the bringer of good unto myself, I am the bringer of evil.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

I am not talking about what e...

I am not talking about what every one of us means by love. Little namby-pamby love is lovely. Man rails in love with woman, and woman goes to die for man. The chances are that in five minutes John kicks Jane, and Jane kicks John. This is a materialism and no love at all. If John could really love Jane, he would be perfect that moment.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

In Shankaracharya we saw tremendous intellectual power, throwing the scorching light of reason upon everything.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Even the lowest of the Hindus...

Even the lowest of the Hindus, the Pariah, has less of the brute in him than a Briton in a similar social status.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Shri Krishna says: "Better die in your own path than attempt the path of another."

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

That man has reached immortal...

That man has reached immortality who is disturbed by nothing material.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

We are what our thoughts have...

We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The will is not free - it is ...

The will is not free - it is a phenomenon bound by cause and effect - but there is something behind the will which is free.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

If faith in ourselves had bee...

If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

You have to grow from the ins...

You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

If money help a man to do goo...

If money help a man to do good to others, it is of some value; but if not, it is simply a mass of evil, and the sooner it is got rid of, the better.

External nature is only internal nature writ large.

God is to be worshipped as the one beloved, dearer than everything in this and next life.
