Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual giants are produced.
~ Swami Vivekananda
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.
~ Swami Vivekananda
Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin ? to say that you are weak, or others are weak.
~ Swami Vivekananda
You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
~ Swami Vivekananda
The goal of mankind is knowledge ... Now this knowledge is inherent in man. No knowledge comes from outside: it is all inside. What we say a man 'knows', should, in strict psychological language, be what he 'discovers' or 'unveils'; what man 'learns' is really what he discovers by taking the cover off his own soul, which is a mine of infinite knowledge.
~ Swami Vivekananda
We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.
~ Swami Vivekananda
Where can we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being.
~ Swami Vivekananda
You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.
~ Swami Vivekananda
The first sign of your becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful.
~ Swami Vivekananda
The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.
In one word, this ideal is that you are divine.
~ Swami Vivekananda
The Vedanta recognizes no sin it only recognizes error. And the greatest error, says the Vedanta is to say that you are weak, that you are a sinner, a miserable creature, and that you have no power and you cannot do this and that.
~ Swami Vivekananda
The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.
~ Swami Vivekananda
All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.
~ Swami Vivekananda
GOD of truth, be Thou alone my guide?
~ Swami Vivekananda
If you think about disaster, you will get it. Brood about death and you hasten your demise. Think positively and masterfully, with confidence and faith, and life becomes more secure, more fraught with action, richer in achievement and experience.
~ Swami Vivekananda
The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves!
~ Swami Vivekananda
You know, I may have to be born again, you see, I have fallen in love with mankind.
~ Swami Vivekananda
By the study of different religions we find that in essence they are one.
~ Swami Vivekananda
Our duty is to encourage every one in his struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same time to make the ideal as near as possible to the Truth.
~ Swami Vivekananda
If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.
~ Swami Vivekananda
My nature is love Him. And therefore I love. I do not pray for any-thing. I do not ask for anything. Let Him place me wherever He likes. I must love Him for love?s sake. I can not trade in love.
~ Swami Vivekananda
To devote your life to the good of all and to the happiness of all is religion. Whatever you do for your own sake is not religion.
~ Swami Vivekananda
Truth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true.
~ Swami Vivekananda
The will is not free - it is a phenomenon bound by cause and effect - but there is something behind the will which is free.
~ Swami Vivekananda
As different streams having different sources all mingle their waters in the sea, so different tendencies various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to God.
~ Swami Vivekananda
When an idea exclusively occupies the mind, it is transformed into an actual physical or mental state.
~ Swami Vivekananda
All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.
~ Swami Vivekananda
Infinite power of the spirit, brought to bear upon matter evolves material development, made to act upon thought evolves intellectuality, and made to act upon itself makes of man a GOd. First, let us be Gods, and then help other to be GOds. "Be and Make." Let this be our motto.
~ Swami Vivekananda
Religion is the manifestation of the Divinity already in man.
~ Swami Vivekananda
It is good to love God for hope of reward, but it is better to love God for love?s sake; and the prayer goes: O Lord, I do not want wealth nor children nor learning. If it be Thy will, I shall go from birth to birth. But grant me this, that I may love thee without the hope of reward - ?love? unselfishly for love?s sake.
~ Swami Vivekananda
To worship God even for the sake of salvation or any other reward is equally degenerate. Love knows no reward. Give your love unto to God, but do not ask anything in return even from Him through pray.
~ Swami Vivekananda
That man has reached immortality who is disturbed by nothing material.
~ Swami Vivekananda
External nature is only internal nature writ large.
~ Swami Vivekananda
Do not stand on a high pedestal and take 5 cents in your hand and say, "here, my poor man", but be grateful that the poor man is there, so by making a gift to him you are able to help yourself.It is not the reciever that is blessed, but it is the giver.Be thankful that you are allowed to exercise your power of benevolence and mercy in the world, and thus become pure and perfect.
~ Swami Vivekananda
God is to be worshipped as the one beloved, dearer than everything in this and next life.
~ Swami Vivekananda
If money help a man to do good to others, it is of some value; but if not, it is simply a mass of evil, and the sooner it is got rid of, the better.
~ Swami Vivekananda
Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way.
~ Swami Vivekananda
The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.
~ Swami Vivekananda
