Swami Vivekananda

We have to keep the body in good health; we have to take care of what we eat and drink, and what we do.

Swami Vivekananda

We know how often in our lives through laziness and cowardice we give up the battle and try to hypnotise our minds into the belief that we are brave.

Swami Vivekananda

We may talk and reason all our lives, but we shall not understand a word of truth, until we experience it ourselves.

Swami Vivekananda

We reap what we sow. We are the makers of our own fate. None else has the blame, none has the praise.

Swami Vivekananda

We want today that bright sun of intellectuality joined with the heart of Buddha, the wonderful infinite heart of love and mercy. This union will give us the highest philosophy.

Swami Vivekananda

What is now wanted is a combination of the greatest heart with the highest intellectuality, of infinite love with infinite knowledge.

Swami Vivekananda

When death is so certain, it is better to die for a good cause.

Swami Vivekananda

When the soul wants to depend upon nothing, not even upon life, that is the height of philosophy, the height of manhood.

Swami Vivekananda

When you are doing any work, do not think of anything beyond. Do it as worship, as the highest worship, and devote your whole life to it for the time being.

Swami Vivekananda

When you step beyond thought and intellect and all reasoning, then you have made the first step towards God; and that is the beginning of life.

Swami Vivekananda
