Swami Vivekananda- The Iconic Hero of Young Generation QUOTES OF SWAMI VIVEKANANDA
“Liberty is the first condition of growth. It is wrong, a thousand times wrong, if any of you dares to say, 'I will work out the salvation of this woman or child.”
“Truth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true.”
“Astrology and all these mystical things are generally signs of a weak mind; therefore as soon as they are becoming prominent in our minds, we should see a physician, take good food, and rest.”
“By doing well the duty which is nearest to us, the duty which is in our hands, we make ourselves stronger”
“The very reason for nature's existence is for the education of the soul.”
“The powers of the mind are like the rays of the sun when they are concentrated they illumine.”
“If a man can realize his divine nature with the help of an image, would it be right to call that a sin? Nor, even when he has passed that stage, should he call it an error. [...] man is not traveling from error to truth, but from truth to truth, from lower to higher truth. To him all the religions from the lowest fetishism to the highest absolutism, mean so many attempts of the human soul to grasp and realize the Infinite, each determined by the conditions of its birth and association, and each of these marks a stage of progress; and every soul is a young eagle soaring higher and higher, gathering more and more strength till it reaches the Glorious Sun.”
“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
“The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.”
“Books are infinite in number and time is short. The secret of knowledge is to take what is essential. Take that and try to live up to it.”
