The Vedanta teaches men to have faith in themselves first.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

We are ever free if we would o...

We are ever free if we would only believe it, only have faith enough. You are the soul, free and eternal, ever free, ever blessed. Have faith enough and you will be free in a minute.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Wherever there is evil and whe...

Wherever there is evil and wherever there is ignorance and want of knowledge, I have found out by experience that all evil comes, as our scriptures say, relying upon differences, and that all good comes from faith in equality, in the underlying sameness and oneness of things. This is the great Vedantic ideal.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Why is it that we three hundre...

Why is it that we three hundred and thirty millions of people have been ruled for the last one thousand years by any and every handful of foreigners who chose to walk over our prostrate bodies? Because they had faith in themselves and we had not.

With eternal faith in Him, set fire to the mountain of misery that has been heaped upon India for ages - and it shall be burned down.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Work hard, be steady, and have faith in the Lord. Set to work.

You know the disease, you know the remedy, only have faith.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

We reap what we sow. We are th...

We reap what we sow. We are the makers of our own fate. The wind is blowing; those vessels whose sails are unfurled catch it, and go forward on their way, but those which have their sails furled do not catch the wind. Is that the fault of the wind?....... We make our own destiny.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Life is short, and therefore, ...

Life is short, and therefore, one thing being certain, death, let us take up a great ideal, and give up the whole life to it. For what is the value of life, this vegetating little low life of man? Subordinating it to one high ideal is the only value that life has.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Get up, and set your shoulder ...

Get up, and set your shoulder to the wheel - How long is this life for? As you have come into this world, leave some mark behind. Otherwise, where is the difference between you and the trees and stones? They too come into existence, decay and die.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

All action of Sattva, a modifi...

All action of Sattva, a modification of Prakriti characterised by light and happiness, is for the soul. When Sattva is free from egoism and illuminated with the pure intelligence of Purusha, it is called the self-centred one, because in that state it becomes independent of all relations.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Did Buddha teach that the many...

Did Buddha teach that the many was real and the ego unreal, while orthodox Hinduism regards the One as the real, and the many as unreal?' the Swami was asked. 'Yes', answered the Swami. 'And what Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and I have added to this is, that the Many and the One are the same Reality, perceived by the same mind at different times and in different attitudes.

Egotism, pride, etc. must be given up.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Give up all self, all egotisms...

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

How long do you remember that ...

How long do you remember that it is the Lord who is making you work? But then, by repeatedly analysing like that, you will come to a state when the ego will vanish and in its place the Lord will come in. Then you will be able to say with justice 'Thou, Lord, art guarding all my actions from within.' But, my friend, if the ego occupies all the space within your heart, where forsooth will there be room enough for the Lord to come in? The Lord is verily absent!

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

I am neither the mind, nor the intellect, nor the ego, nor the mind-stuff

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

In everything we do, the serpe...

In everything we do, the serpent ego is rising up.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

It will be a great pity if any feeling of jealousy or egotism gain ground amongst you.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Man only remains hypnotised wi...

Man only remains hypnotised with the false idea of an ego. When this ghost is off from us, all dreams vanish, and then it is found that the one Self only exists from the highest Being to a blade of grass.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

One possessing Vairagya does not understand by Atman the individual ego but the All-pervading Lord, residing as the Self and Internal Ruler in all. He is perceivable by all as the sum total.
