Never are we nearer the Light...

Never are we nearer the Light than when the darkness is deepest.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

There is no end to the power ...

There is no end to the power a man can obtain.

First of all, our young must ...

First of all, our young must be strong. Religion will come afterwards.

You never hear of a mother cu...

You never hear of a mother cursing the child; she is forgiving, always forgiving.

To the person who desires not...

To the person who desires nothing and does not get entangled in desires, the manifold changes of nature are one panorama of beauty and sublimity.

Practice is absolutely necessary. You may sit down and listen to me by the hour every day, but if you do not practice, you will not get one step further. It all depends on practice.

My children, the secret of religion lies not in theories but in practice.

. . . Wait, my child, wait and work on. Patience, patience. . . . .

Do not desire, for what you d...

Do not desire, for what you desire you get, and with it comes terrible bondage. It is nothing but bringing "noses on us," as in the case of the man who had three boons to ask. We never get freedom until we are self-contained. "Self is the Saviour of self, none else."

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

You have the right to work, b...

You have the right to work, but do not become so degenerate as to look for results. Work incessantly, but see something behind the work. Even good deeds can find a man in great bondage. Therefore be not bound by good deeds or by desires for name and fame.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

I stand for truth. Truth will...

I stand for truth. Truth will never ally itself with falsehood. Even if all the world should be against me, Truth must prevail in the end.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Learn obedience first. Among ...

Learn obedience first. Among these Western nations, with such a high spirit of independence, the spirit of obedience is equally strong. We are all of us self-important, which never produces any work. Great enterprise, boundless courage, tremendous energy, and, above all, perfect obedience; these are the only traits that lead to individual and national regeneration. These traits are altogether lacking in us.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

If you dare declare that you ...

If you dare declare that you are free, free you are this moment. If you say you are bound, bound you will remain.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Those that only take a nibble...

Those that only take a nibble here and a nibble there will never attain anything ... Those who really want to be yogis must give up, once and for all, this nibbling at things. Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Astrology and all these mysti...

Astrology and all these mystical things are generally signs of a weak mind; therefore as soon as they are becoming prominent in our minds, we should see a physician, take good food, and rest.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Meditate upon the Om that is ...

Meditate upon the Om that is in the heart.

Self-sacrifice, not self-asse...

Self-sacrifice, not self-assertion, is the law of the highest universe.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

For a warrior, nothing is higher than a war against evil. The warrior confronted with such a war should be pleased, Arjuna, for it comes as an open gate to heaven. But if you do not participate in this battle against evil, you will incur sin, violating your dharma and your honor.

Eka-Nishtha or devotion to one ideal is absolutely necessary for the beginner in the practice of religious devotion.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Faith in ourselves will do everything. I have experienced it in my own life, and am still doing so; and as I grow older that faith is becoming stronger and stronger. He is an atheist who does not believe in himself. The old religions said that he was an atheist who did not believe in God. The new religion says that he is the atheist who does not believe in himself
