We cannot see outside what we are not inside. The universe is to us what the huge engine is to the miniature engine; and indication of any error in the tiny engine leads us to imagine trouble in the huge one.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda Mind you, there is no value in learning. You are all mistaken in learning. The only value of knowledge is in the strengthening, the disciplining, of the mind.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda No one is ever really taught by another; each of us has to teach himself. The external teacher offers only the suggestion, which arouses the internal teacher, who helps us to understand things.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda Ishvara is the highest manifestation of the Absolute Reality, or in other words, the highest possible reading of the Absolute by the human mind. Creation is eternal, and so also is Ishvara.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda Eka-Nishtha or devotion to one ideal is absolutely necessary for the beginner in the practice of religious devotion.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda Why should a Man be Moral? Because this strengthens his will.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda Never say any man is hopeless, because he only represents a character, a bundle of habits, which can be checked by new and better ones. Character is repeated habits, and repeated habits alone can reform character.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda Thank God for giving you this world as a moral gymnasium to help your development, but never imagine you can help the world.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda Know that all sins and all evils can be summed up in that one word, weakness. It is weakness that is the motive power in all evil doing; it is weakness that makes men injure others; it is weakness that makes them manifest what they are not in reality. Let them know what they really are.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda The help which tends to make us spiritually strong is the highest help, next to it comes intellectual help and after that comes physical help.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda As soon as we react, we become slaves. A man blames me, and I immediately react in the form of anger. A little vibration which he created made me a slave.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda Fear is death, fear is sin, fear is hell, fear is unrighteousness, and fear is wrong life. All the negative thoughts and ideas that are in the world have proceeded from this evil spirit of fear.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda We must plunge heart and soul and body into the work. And until we are ready to sacrifice everything else to one Idea and to one alone, we never, never will see the Light.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda Never talk about the faults of others, no matter how bad they may be. Nothing is ever gained by that. You never help one by talking about his fault; you do him an injury, and injure yourself as well.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda Take up an idea, devote yourself to it, struggle on in patience, and the sun will rise for you.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda One may gain political and social independence, but if one is a slave to his passions and desires, one cannot feel the pure joy of real freedom
