Text Quotes
It is good and very grand to conquer external nature, but grander still to conquer our internal nature... This conquering of the inner man, understanding the secrets of the subtle workings that are within the human mind, and knowing its wonderful secrets, belong entirely to religion (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
We must recognise that duty and morality vary under different circumstances; not that the man who resists evil is doing what is always and in itself wrong, but that in the different circumstances in which he is placed it may become even his duty to resist evil (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
There is no chance for the welfare of the world unless the condition of woman is improved. It is not possible for a bird to fly on only one wing. There is no hope for that family or country where there is no estimation of women, where they live in sadness. For this reason, they have to be raised first (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Our minds are forced to become fixed upon different things by an attraction in them which we cannot resist. To control the mind, to place it just where we want it, requires special training. It cannot be done in any other way. In the study of religion the control of the mind is absolutely necessary. We have to turn the mind back upon itself in this study (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
According to the law of nature, wherever there is an awakening of a new and stronger life, there it tries to conquer and take the place of the old and the decaying. Nature favours the dying out of the unfit and the survival of the fittest. The final result of such conflict between the priestly and the other classes has been mentioned already (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
The more opposition there is, the better. Does a river acquire velocity unless there is resistance? The newer and better a thing is, the more opposition I will meet with at the outset. It is opposition which foretells success. Where there is no opposition there is no success either (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Books are good but they are only maps. Reading a book by direction of a man I read that so many inches of rain fell during the year. Then he told me to take the book and squeeze it between my hands. I did so and not a drop of water came from it. It was the idea only that the book conveyed. So we can get good from books, from the temple, from the church, from anything, so long as it leads us onward and upward (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Books suggest the inner light and the method of bringing that out, but we can only understand them when we have earned the knowledge ourselves. When the inner light has flashed for you, let the books go, and look only within. You have in you all and a thousand times more than is in all the books. Never lose faith in yourself, you can do anything in this universe. Never weaken, all power is yours (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Even books are nurses, medicines are nurses. But we must work to bring about the time when man shall recognise his mastery over his own body. Herbs and medicines have power over us as long as we allow them; when we become strong, these external methods are no more necessary (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Doing is very good, but that comes from thinking. Little manifestations of energy through the muscles are called work. But where there is no thought, there will be no work. Fill the brain, therefore, with high thoughts, highest ideals, place them day and night before you, and out of that will come great work (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
We must overcome difficulty by constant practice. We must learn that nothing can happen to us unless we make ourselves susceptible to it (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Give me few men and women who are pure and selfless and I shall shake the world (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
This life is short, the vanities of the world are transient, but they alone live who live for others, the rest are more dead than alive (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
When we really begin to live in the world, then we understand what is meant by brotherhood or mankind, and not before (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Both the forces of good and evil will keep the universe alive for us, until we awake from our dreams and give up this building of mud pies (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Come out into the broad light of day, come out from the little narrow paths, for how can the infinite soul rest content to live and die in small ruts? (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Do any deserve liberty who are not ready to give it to others? Let us calmly go to work, instead of dissipating our energy in unnecessary fretting and fuming (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Fear is death, fear is sin, fear is hell, fear is unrighteousness, fear is wrong life. All the negative thoughts and ideas that are in the world have proceeded from this evil spirit of fear (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Go on saying, I am free. Never mind if the next moment delusion comes and says, I am bound. Dehypnotize the whole thing (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
If a piece of burning charcoal be placed on a man’s head, see how he struggles to throw it off. Similar will be the struggle for freedom of those who really understand that they are slaves of nature (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Karma is the eternal assertion of human freedom. If we can bring ourselves down by our karma, surely it is in our power to raise ourselves by our own karma (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Neither seek nor avoid; take what comes. It is liberty to be affected by nothing. Do not merely endure; be unattached (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Religion as a science, as a study, is the greatest and healthiest exercise that the human mind can have (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
Religion has no business to formulate social laws and insist on the difference between beings, because its aim and end is to obliterate all such fictions and monstrosities (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
The more you think of yourself as shining immortal spirit, the more eager you will be to be absolutely free of matter, body, and senses. This is the intense desire to be free (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
The past was great no doubt, but I sincerely believe that the future will be more glorious still (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
There is only one sin. That is weakness... The only saint is that soul that never weakens, faces everything, and determines to die game (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
We must approach religion with reverence and with love, and our heart will stand up and say, this is truth, and this is untruth (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
We must be bright and cheerful. Long faces do not make religion. Religion should be the most joyful thing in the world, because it is the best (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
We want to know in order to make ourselves free. That is our life: one universal cry for freedom (Swami Vivekananda Quotes)
