All the powers in
the universe are
already ours. It is
we who have put
our hands before
our eyes and cry
that it is dark.
-Swami Vivekananda "Is there any sex- distinction in the Atman (Self)? Out with the differentiation between man and woman—all is Atman! Give up the identification with the body, and stand up!"
-Swami Vivekananda
You cannot believe
in God until you
believe in yourself.
-Swami Vivekananda
We are what our
thoughts have
made us; so take
care about what
you think. Words
are secondary.
Thoughts live;
they travel far.
-Swami Vivekananda
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.
-Swami Vivekananda
Tell the truth boldly, whether it hurts or not. Never pander to weakness. If truth is too much for intelligent people and sweeps them away, let them go; the sooner the better.
