Swami Vivekananda famous quotes collection

Some of famous sayings from Swami Vivekananda

“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.”

“You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.”

“The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.”

"BY the study of different religions we find that in essence they are one."

“The goal of mankind is knowledge ... Now this knowledge is inherent in man. No knowledge comes from outside: it is all inside. What we say a man 'knows', should, in strict psychological language, be what he 'discovers' or 'unveils'; what man 'learns' is really what he discovers by taking the cover off his own soul, which is a mine of infinite knowledge.”

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

“Where can we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being.”

"The first sign of your becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful"

"Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin? To say that you are weak, or others are weak."

"The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them."
