07UndatedWas there ever a more horrible blasphemy than the statement that all the knowledge of God is confined to this or that book? How dare men call God infinite, and yet try to compress Him within the covers of a little book!Swami Vivekananda / quote ↗
08UndatedNever say, "O Lord, I am a miserable sinner." Who will help you? You are the help of the universe. What in this universe can help you? What can prevail over you? You are the God of the universe; where can you seek for help? Never help came from anywhere but from yourself. In your ignorance, every prayer that you made and that was answered, you thought was answered by some Being, but you answered the prayer yourself unknowingly. The help came from yourself, and you fondly imagined that someone was sending help to you. There is no help for you outside of yourself; you are the creator of the universe. Like the silkworm, you have built a cocoon around yourself. Who will save you? Burst your own cocoon and come out as a beautiful butterfly, as the free soul. Then alone you will see Truth.Swami Vivekananda / quote ↗
09UndatedThe knowing ones must have pity on the ignorant.One who knows is willing to give up his body even for an ant,because he knows that the body is nothing.Swami Vivekananda / quote ↗

11UndatedThe Christian is not to become a Hindu or a Buddhist, nor is a Hindu or a Buddhist to become a Christian. But each must assimilate the spirit of the others and yet preserve his individuality and grow according to his own law of growth. If the Parliament of Religions has shown anything to the world, it is this: It has proved to the world that holiness, purity, and charity are not the exclusive possessions of any church in the world, and that every system has produced men and women of the most exalted character. In the face of this evidence, if anybody dreams of the exclusive survival of his own religion at the expense of the others, I pity him from the bottom of my heart and point out to him that upon the banner of every religion will soon be written, in spite of resistance: "Help and not Fight," "Assimilation and not Destruction," "Harmony and Peace and not Dissension".Swami Vivekananda / quote ↗
12UndatedEducation is the manifestation of perfection already existing in man.Swami Vivekananda / quote ↗

14UndatedA few heart-whole, sincere, and energetic men and women can do more in a year than a mob in a century.Swami Vivekananda / quote ↗
15UndatedThings do not grow better; they remain as they are. It is we who grow better, by the changes we make in ourselves.Swami Vivekananda / quote ↗
16UndatedYou 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 / quote ↗
18UndatedThe whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you free.Swami Vivekananda / quote ↗
