Swami Vivekananda- The Iconic Hero of Young Generation QUOTES OF SWAMI VIVEKANANDA
“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.”
“One infinite - pure and holy - beyond thoughts and beyond qualities - bow down to thee”
“Most of us will find that we were born for service. We must leave the results to God. If failure comes, there need be no sorrow. The work was done only for God.”
“The greatest truths are the simplest things in the world, simple as your own existence.”
“Bless people when they revile you. Think how much good they are doing by helping to stamp out the false ego.”
“The Tapas and the other hard Yogas that were practiced in other Yugas do not work now. What is needed in this Yuga is giving, helping others.”
“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.” ― Swami Vivekananda
