All practice or worship is on...

All practice or worship is only for taking off this veil. When that will go, you will find that the Sun of Absolute Knowledge is shining in Its own lustre.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

We know how often in our live...

We know how often in our lives through laziness and cowardice we give up the battle and try to hypnotise our minds into the belief that we are brave.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

I have come to this conclusio...

I have come to this conclusion that there is only one country in the world which understands religion - it is India.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Feel like Christ and you will...

Feel like Christ and you will be a Christ; feel like Buddha and you will be a Buddha. It is feeling that is the life, the strength, the vitality, without which no amount of intellectual activity can reach God.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Our best work is done, our gr...

Our best work is done, our greatest influence is exerted, when we are without thought of self.

Shri Ramakrishna use to say, ...

Shri Ramakrishna use to say, "As Long as I Live, so long do I learn". That man or that society which has nothing to learn is already in the jaws of death.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Be moral. Be brave. Be a hear...

Be moral. Be brave. Be a heart-whole man, strictly moral, brave unto desperation. Don't bother your head with religious theories. Cowards only sin, brave men never, no, not even in mind.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The earth is enjoyed by heroe...

The earth is enjoyed by heroes”—this is the unfailing truth. Be a hero. Always say, “I have no fear.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Is enjoyment the goal of life...

Is enjoyment the goal of life? Were it so, it would be a tremendous mistake to become a man at all. What man can enjoy a meal with more gusto than the dog or the cat ? Go to a menagerie and see the [wild animals] tearing the flesh from the bone. Go back and become a bird! . . . What a mistake then to become a man! Vain have been my years - hundreds of years - of struggle only to become the man of sense-enjoyments.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

If a thing happens once, it c...

If a thing happens once, it can happen again. If any human being has ever realised perfection, we too can do so. If we cannot become perfect here and now, we never can in any state or heaven or condition we may imagine.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Why are people so afraid? The...

Why are people so afraid? The answer is that they have made themselves helpless and dependent on others. We are so lazy, we do not want to do anything ourselves. We want a Personal God, a Savior or a Prophet to do everything for us.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

None of us have yet seen an i...

None of us have yet seen an ideally perfect man, and yet without that ideal we cannot progress.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Learn Everything that is Good...

Learn Everything that is Good from Others, but bring it in, and in your own way absorb it; do not become others.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The help which tends to make ...

The help which tends to make us spiritually strong is the highest help, next to it comes intellectual help and after that comes physical help.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Fill the brain with high thou...

Fill the brain with high thoughts, highest ideals, place them day and night before you, and out of that will come great work.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Every wave of passion restrai...

Every wave of passion restrained is a balance in your favor. It is therefore good policy not to return anger for anger, as with all true morality.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Give up all self, all egotism...

Give up all self, all egotisms get out of anger, lust, give all to God. "I am not, but Thou art; the old man is all gone, only Thou remainest." "I am Thou." Blame none; if evil comes, know the Lord is playing with you and be exceeding glad.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes
