The organs are the horses, the mind is the rein, the intellect is the charioteer, the soul is the rider, and the body is the chariot.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Not one atom can rest until it finds its freedom.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

This is a great fact: strengt...

This is a great fact: strength is life; weakness is death. Strength is felicity, life eternal, immortal; weakness is constant strain and misery, weakness is death.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Do not believe a thing becaus...

Do not believe a thing because you have read about it in a book. Do not believe a thing because another man has said it was true. Do not believe in words because they are hallowed by tradition. Find out the truth for yourself. Reason it out. That is realization.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

"Why should I become angry ju...

"Why should I become angry just because another man has made a fool of himself. Do thou resist not evil!" That is what the lovers of God say. Whatever the world does, wherever it goes, has no influence [on them].

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Fool indeed is he, who, livin...

Fool indeed is he, who, living on the banks of the Ganga, digs a little well for water. Fool indeed is the man who, coming to a mine of diamonds, begins to search for glass beads.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The banyan tree does not mean...

The banyan tree does not mean awakening, nor does the hill, nor the saint, nor the European couple. The lotus is a symbol of regeneration.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Plunge into the world, and th...

Plunge into the world, and then, after a time, when you have suffered and enjoyed all that is in it, will renunciation come; then will calmness come. So fulfill your desire for power and everything else, and after you have fulfilled the desire, will come the time when you will know that they are all very little things; but until you have fulfilled this desire, until you have passed through that activity, it is impossible for you to come to the state of calmness, serenity, and self-surrender.

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

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The mind generally takes up various objects, runs into all sorts of things. That is the lower state. There is a higher state of the mind, when it takes up one object and excludes all others.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

God is not to be reached by the weak. Never be weak. You have infinite strength within you. How else will you conquer anything? How else will you come to God?

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

If a piece of burning charcoal be placed on a man’s head, see how he struggles to throw it off. Similar will be the struggle for freedom of those who really understand that they are slaves of nature.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The kingdom of heaven is already in existence if we will have it, that perfection is already in man if he will see it.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Love conquers in the long run...

Love conquers in the long run. It won't do to become impatient - wait, wait - patience is bound to give success. . . .

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Take up one idea. Make that on...

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

If faith in ourselves had been...

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

The moment I have realized God...

The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The more we come out and do go...

The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Where can we go to find God if...

Where can we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

As different streams having different sources all mingle their waters in the sea, so different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to God.
