Each man must begin where he stands, must learn how to control the things that are nearest to him. Swami Vivekananda More Quotes by Swami Vivekananda More Quotes From Swami Vivekananda It is the free alone which never changes, and the unchangeable alone which is free; for change is produced by something exterior to a thing, or within itself, which is more powerful than the surroundings. Swami Vivekananda surroundingspowerfulchange That which is selfish is immoral, and that which is unselfish is moral. Swami Vivekananda generosityselfishmoral Religion is the life of India, religion is the language of this country, the symbol of all its movements. Swami Vivekananda indiamovementcountry The meditative state is the highest state of existence. So long as there is desire, no real happiness can come. It is only the contemplative, witness-like study of objects that brings to us real enjoyment and happiness. Swami Vivekananda realdesirelong Have faith that you are all, my brave lads, born to do great things! Let not the barks of puppies frighten you, no, not even the thunderbolts of heaven, but stand up and work! Swami Vivekananda bravefaithheaven That is good. It is a law of nature. That is the way with all founders of religion. Without persecution superior ideas cannot penetrate into the heart of society. Swami Vivekananda lawheartideas Cut the bondage of all worldly affections; go beyond laziness and all care as to what becomes of you. Swami Vivekananda cuttingcarelaziness God is present in every Jiva; there is no other God besides that. Who serves Jiva serves God indeed. Swami Vivekananda serving-godmotivational Go and preach to all, 'Arise, awake, sleep no more: within each of you there is the power to remove all wants and all miseries. Believe this, and that power will be manifested. Swami Vivekananda sleepmotivationalbelieve We read many books, but that does not bring us knowledge. We may read all the Bibles in the world, but that will not give us religion. Theoretical religion is easy enough to get, any one may get that. What we want is practical religion. Swami Vivekananda doegivingbook Man cannot always think of matter, however pleasurable it may be. Swami Vivekananda maymenthinking I am inclined to believe that one who is a coward will be born after death as an insect or a worm, that there is no salvation for a coward even after millions of years of penance. Swami Vivekananda cowardbelieveyears He who knows even how to prepare a smoke properly, knows also how to meditate. And he who cannot cook well cannot be a perfect sannyasin. Unless cooking is performed with a pure mind and concentration, the food is not palatable. Swami Vivekananda cookingperfectmind From the highest god to the meanest grass, the same power is present in all - whether manifested or not. We shall have to call forth that power by going from door to door. Swami Vivekananda powergrassdoors Om is the pointed piece and Dhyâna (meditation) is the friction. Swami Vivekananda frictionpiecesmeditation The sum total of all the cells in an organism is one person; so each soul is like one cell and the sum of them is God, and beyond that is the Absolute. Swami Vivekananda cellspersonssoul A man ought to live in this world like a lotus leaf, which grows in water but is never moistened by water; so a man ought to live in the world - his heart to God and his hands to work. Swami Vivekananda heartmenhands I am persuaded that a leader is not made in one life. He has to be born for it. For the difficulty is not in organisation and making plans; the test, the real test, of the leader, lies in holding widely different people together along the line of their common sympathies.
