Swami Vivekananda


First believe in the world - then there is meaning behind everything.

Dont look back - look forward, with infinite energy, infinite enthusiasm, infinite daring, and infinite patience - then alone can great deeds be accomplished.

I, for one, thoroughly believe that no power in the universe can withhold from anyone anything they really deserve,

“Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual giants are produced.”

“You 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.”

“We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.”

“In one word, this ideal is that you are divine.”

The will is not free - it is a phenomenon bound by cause and effect - but there is something behind the will which is free.”

“That man has reached immortality who is disturbed by nothing material.”

Do divine people eat turtles and shad fish as Swami Vivekananda did?
200 blog posts on Swami Vivekananda with proof from his Complete Works.

There are no spiritual giants. This is a delusion.
Ego playing God of something greater.
Pardon me for my personal opinion. Peace!
