Swami Vivekananda Quotes:
- Look at the "ocean" and not at the "wave." See no difference between ant and angel. Every worm is the brother of Nazarene. How can you say one is greater and one less? Each is great in his own place. We are in the sun and the stars as much as here. Spirit is beyond space and time and is everywhere.
- Everyone makes shipwreck on the rock of would-be Guruism,
except souls that were born to Qbe Gurus. - Do you think these sannyasi children of Sri Ramakrishna are born to simply to sit under trees lighting dhuni-fires? Whenever any of them will take up some work, people will be astonished to see their energy. Learn from them how to work.
- Just as every action that emanates from us comes back to us as reaction, even so our actions may act on other people and theirs on us. Perhaps all of you have observed it as a fact that when people do evil actions, they become more and more evil, and when they begin to do good, they become stronger and stronger and learn to do good all the time. This intensification of the influence of action cannot be explained on any other ground than that we can act and react upon each other.
- If you want to be a yogi, you must be free, and place yourself in circumstances where you are alone and free from all anxiety. One who desires a comfortable and nice life and at the same time wants to realize the Self is like the fool who, wanting to cross the river, caught hold of a crocodile, mistaking it for a log of wood.
