Out of Mahat comes universal egoism.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Realisation of love can never ...

Realisation of love can never come so long as there is the least desire in the heart, or what Shri Ramakrishna used to say, attachment for KГўma-KГўnchana (sense-pleasure and wealth). In the perfect realisation of love, even the consciousness of one's own body does not exist. Also, the supreme Jnana is to realise the oneness everywhere, to see one's own self as the Self in everything. That too cannot come so long as there is the least consciousness of the ego (Aham).

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Say - i am the Atman in which ...

Say - i am the Atman in which my lower ego has become merged for ever. Be perfect in this idea; and then as long as the body endures, speak unto others this message of fearlessness: 'Thou art That', 'Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached!'

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The 'ego' like its correlati...

The 'ego' like its correlative 'non-ego', is the product of the body, mind etc. The only proof of the existence of the real Self is realisation.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The ego of man and woman is the soul. If the soul is independent, how then can it be isolated from the infinite whole?

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The mind in its foolishness th...

The mind in its foolishness thinks that it is working in this body. Why should I be bound by one system of nerves, and put the Ego only in one body, if the mind is omnipresent? There is no reason why I should.[Source]
The root of that degeneration is egotism - to think that one is just as great as any other, indeed!

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The world is a demon. It is a ...

The world is a demon. It is a kingdom of which the puny ego is king. Put it away and stand firm.

There is no good in store so l...

There is no good in store so long as malice and jealousy and egotism will prevail.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

There is the mind itself. It i...

There is the mind itself. It is like a smooth lake which when struck, say by a stone, vibrates. The vibrations gather together and react on the stone, and all through the lake they will spread and be felt. The mind is like the lake; it is constantly being set in vibrations, which leave an impression on the mind; and the idea of the Ego, or personal self, the 'I', is the result of these impressions. This 'I' therefore is only the very rapid transmission of force and is in itself no reality.

This ego - the less there is o...

This ego - the less there is of it, the nearer I am to that which I really am: the universal body.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

This intelligence itself is mo...

This intelligence itself is modified into what we call egoism, and this intelligence is the cause of all the powers in the body. It covers the whole ground, sub-consciousness, consciousness, and super-consciousness.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

This rascal ego must be oblite...

This rascal ego must be obliterated.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Throw overboard all idea of je...

Throw overboard all idea of jealousy and egotism, once for all. Come on to the practical field with tremendous energy; to work, in the fullness of strength! As to the rest, the Lord will point out the way.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

To give up the world is to for...

To give up the world is to forget the ego, to know it not at all - living in the body, but not of it.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Truth will never come into our...

Truth will never come into our minds so long as there will remain the faintest shadow of AhamkГўra (egotism). All of you should try to root out this devil from your heart. Complete self-surrender is the only way to spiritual illumination.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

We become forgetful of the ego...

We become forgetful of the ego when we think of the body as dedicated to the service of others - the body with which most complacently we identify the ego.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

When I see an object there is ...

When I see an object there is no will; when its sensations are carried to the brain, there comes the reaction, which says 'Do this', or 'Do not do this', and this state of the ego-substance is what is called will

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Happiness presents itself to m...

Happiness presents itself to man, wearing the crown of sorrow on its head. He who welcomes it must also welcome sorrow.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Life without death and happine...

Life without death and happiness without misery are contradiction and neither can be found alone, because each of them is a different manifestation of the same thing.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Be strong! Don't talk of ghost...

Be strong! Don't talk of ghosts and devils. We are the living devils. The sign of life is strength and growth. The sign of death is weakness. Whatever is weak, avoid! It is death. If it is strength, go down into hell and get hold of it! There is salvation only for the brave. Everyone must work out his own salvation.
