A sapling must be hedged about...

A sapling must be hedged about for protection, but when it becomes a tree, a hedge would be a hindrance. So there is no need to criticise and condemn the old forms.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

All these disciplines are for ...

All these disciplines are for the purification of the heart. And as soon as it is pure, all truths flash upon it in a minute; all truth in the universe will manifest in your heart, if you are sufficiently pure.

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. This is the result of an old and excellent religious civilization. This evolution to a higher spiritual state is possible only through discipline and education.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

If you intend to study the min...

If you intend to study the mind, you must have systematic training; you must practice to bring the mind under your control, to attain to that consciousness from which you will be able to study the mind and remain unmoved by any of its wild gyrations. Otherwise the facts observed will not be reliable; they will not apply to all people and therefore will not be truly facts or data at all.

It is a good discipline to be forced to work for work's sake, even to the length of not being allowed to enjoy the fruits of one's labour....

Know this also to be one of the spiritual practices, a discipline for God - realisation. Its aim also is Self - realisation.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Mind you, there is no value in...

Mind you, there is no value in learning. You are all mistaken in learning. The only value of knowledge is in the strengthening, the disciplining, of the mind.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

No doubt it is an evil to be bound by laws, but it is necessary at the immature stage to be guided by rules; in other words, as the Master used to say that the sapling must be hedged round, and so on.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Some men, who begin by saying ...

Some men, who begin by saying that the world is a hell, often end by saying that it is a heaven when they succeed in the practice of self-control.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The hard discipline, with the ...

The hard discipline, with the exception of one great good point, is fraught with evil. The good point is that men can do one or two things well with very little effort, having practiced them every day through generations.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The mind has to be gradually and systematically brought under control.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The whole point is to discipline the mind.

...oneness is the secret to everything.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Look not back. No, not even if...

Look not back. No, not even if you see the dearest and nearest cry. Look not back, but forward. We cannot stop. If we stop we die. We have either to go forward or to go backward. We have either to progress or to degenerate.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

A man must not only have faith...

A man must not only have faith but intellectual faith too. To make a man take up everything and believe it, would be to make him a lunatic.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Children of those ancient Aryans, through the grace of the Lord may you have the same pride, may that faith in your ancestors come into your blood, may it become a part and parcel of your lives, may it work towards the salvation of the world!

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Do not disturb the faith of an...

Do not disturb the faith of any. . . Our duty is not to disturb the faith of others.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Faith in ourselves will do eve...

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

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Faith is not belief, it is the...

Faith is not belief, it is the grasp on the Ultimate, an illumination.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Faith, sympathy - fiery faith ...

Faith, sympathy - fiery faith and fiery sympathy! Life is nothing, death is nothing, hunger nothing, cold nothing. Glory unto the Lord - march on, the Lord is our General. Do not look back to see who falls - forward - onward! Thus and thus we shall go on, brethren. One falls, and another takes up the work
