Knowledge can only be got in one way, the way of experience; there is no other way to know.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

A Brahmin is not so much in n...

A Brahmin is not so much in need of education as a Chandala. If the son of a Brahmin needs one teacher, that of a Chandala needs ten.

This life is a tremendous assertion of freedom

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Ay! says the Vedanta, it is n...

Ay! says the Vedanta, it is not the fault of God that this partiality exists, that this competition exists. Who makes it? We ourselves. There is a cloud shedding its rain on all fields alike. But it is only the field that is well cultivated, which gets the advantage of the shower; another field, which has not been tilled or taken care of cannot get that advantage. It is not the fault of the cloud.

All real progress must be slow.

This doctrine of prenatal inf...

This doctrine of prenatal influence is now slowly being recognized, and science as well as religion calls out: 'Keep yourself holy, and pure.' So deeply has this been recognized in India, that there we even speak of adultery in marriage, except when marriage is consummated in prayer.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

From the high spiritual fligh...

From the high spiritual flights of the Vedanta philosophy, of which the latest discoveries of science seem like echoes, to the low ideas of idolatry with its multifarious mythology, the agnosticism of the Buddhists and the atheism of the Jains, each and all have a place in the Hinduism religion.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Man has infinite power within...

Man has infinite power within himself, and he can realise it - he can realise himself as the one infinite Self. It can be done; but you do not believe it. You pray to God and keep your powder dry all the time.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Every individual is a center ...

Every individual is a center for the manifestation of a certain force. This force has been stored up as the resultant of our previous works, and each one of us is born with this force at our back.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

It is the highest manifestati...

It is the highest manifestation of the power of Vairagya when it takes away even our attraction towards the qualities.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

At the head of all these laws...

At the head of all these laws, in and through every particle of matter and force, stands One through whose command the wind blows, the fire burns, the clouds rain, and death stalks upon the earth. And what is His nature? He is everywhere the pure and formless One, the Almighty and the All Merciful. Thou art our Father. Thou art our beloved Friend.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Whose meditation is real and ...

Whose meditation is real and effective? Who can really surrender to the will of God? Only the person whose mind has been purified by selfless work.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Marriage and sex and money the only living devils.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Everything which has name and...

Everything which has name and form must die. If there are heavens with forms, these heavens must vanish in course of time; they may last millions of years, but there must come a time when they will have to go.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

We are the sons of Light and ...

We are the sons of Light and children of God. Glory unto the Lord, we will succeed.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

To realize the spirit as spir...

To realize the spirit as spirit is practical religion. Everything else is good so far as it leads to this one grand idea. That realization is to be attained by renunciation, by meditation-renunciation of all the senses, cutting the knots, the chains that bind us down to matter.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

If you are angry, and then ha...

If you are angry, and then happy, the next moment the anger passes away. Out of that anger you manufactured the next state. These states are always interchangeable. Eternal happiness and misery are a child's dream.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Internal and external nature,...

Internal and external nature, mind and matter, are in time and space, and are bound by the law of causation.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

There is another way in which...

There is another way in which this idea of mercy and selfless charity can be put into practice; that is, by looking upon work as "worship" in case we believe in a Personal God. Here we give up all the fruits our work unto the Lord, and worshipping Him thus, we have no right to expect anything from man kind for the work we do.

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.
