Text Quotes
Despite the many iniquities that have found entrance into the practices of image-worship as it is in vogue now, I do not condemn it. Ay, where would I have been if I had not been blessed with the dust of the holy feet of that orthodox, image-worshipping Brahmin! (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
One thing I must tell you. Idolatry in India does not mean anything horrible. It is not the mother of harlots (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
This external worship of images has, however, been described in all our Shastras as the lowest of all the low forms of worship. But that does not mean that it is a wrong thing to do (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
We may worship a picture as God, but not God as the picture. God in the picture is right, but the picture as God is wrong. God in the image is perfectly right. There is no danger there. This is the real worship of God. But the image-God is a mere Pratika (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Brave, bold men, these are what we want. What we want is vigour in the blood, strength in the nerves, iron muscles and nerves of steel, not softening namby-pamby ideas (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
No negative, all positive, affirmative. I am, God is, everything is in me. I will manifest health, purity, knowledge, whatever I want (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
When the body is still healthy and diseaseless, When old age has not yet attacked it (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
In all our Yogas this renunciation is necessary. This is the stepping-stone and the real centre and the real heart of all spiritual culture - renunciation. This is religion - renunciation (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
The more we grow in love and virtue and holiness, the more we see love and virtue and holiness outside. All condemnation of others really condemns ourselves. Adjust the microcosm (which is in your power to do) and the macrocosm will adjust itself for you. It is like the hydrostatic paradox, one drop of water can balance the universe (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
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 (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Christians are always wanting God to give them something. They appear as beggars before the throne of the Almighty (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
The sum total or Ishwara may be said to be All-good, Almighty, and Omniscient. These are obvious qualities, and need no argument to prove, from the very fact of totality (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
You are incarnations of God, all of you. You are incarnations of the Almighty, Omnipresent, Divine Principle. You may laugh at me now, but the time will come when y (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
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 (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Talk to yourself atleast once in a Day.. Otherwise you may miss a meeting with an EXCELLENT person in this World (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
God is present in every Jiva; there is no other God besides that. Who serves Jiva serves God indeed (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Learn obedience first. Among these Western nations, with such a high spirit of independence, the spirit of obedience is equally strong. We are all of us self-important, which never produces any work. Great enterprise, boundless courage, tremendous energy, and, above all, perfect obedience; these are the only traits that lead to individual and national regeneration. These traits are altogether lacking in us (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
The difference between God and the devil is in nothing except in unselfishness and selfishness. The devil knows as much as God, is as powerful as God; only he has no holiness that makes him a devil. Apply the same idea to the modern world: excess of knowledge and power, without holiness, makes human beings devils (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Education is not filling the mind with a lot of facts. Perfecting the instrument and getting complete mastery of my own mind [is the ideal of education] (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Rama, the ancient idol of the heroic ages, the embodiment of truth, of morality, the ideal son, the ideal husband, and above all, the ideal king, this Rama has been presented before us by the great sage Valmiki. No language can be purer, none chaster, none more beautiful, and at the same time simpler, than the language in which the great poet has depicted the life of Rama (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Crossing over mountains, rivers, arid oceans, setting at naught, as it were, the obstacles of the distance of space and time, the blood of Indian thought has flowed, and is still flowing into the veins of other nations of the globe, whether in a distinct or in some subtle unknown way. Perhaps to us belongs the major portion of the universal ancient inheritance (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Everything progresses in waves. The march of civilization, the progression of worlds, is in waves. All human activities likewise progress in waves - art, literature, science, religion (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
I have a message for the world, which I will deliver without fear and care for the future. To the reformers I will point out that I am a greater reformer than any one of them. They want to reform only little bits. I want root-and-branch reform (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
The ground under the Bilva tree is very holy. Meditating here quickly brings about an awakening of the religious instinct. Shri Ramakrishna used to say so (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Now is wanted intense Karma-Yoga with unbounded courage and indomitable strength in the heart. Then only will the people of the country be roused (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Blame neither man, nor God, nor anyone in the world. When you find yourselves suffering, blame yourselves, and try to do better (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
You yourself are to blame. This weeping and wailing and knocking your heads into corners [against brick walls, as it were] will not do you the least good (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
There is but one temple - the body. It is the only temple that ever existed (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
We are bound to earth by desire and also to God, heaven, and the angels. A slave is a slave whether to man, to God, or to angels (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Books never make religions, but religions make books. We must not forget that. No book ever created God, but God inspired all the great books. And no book ever created a soul (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
