Inspiring Aphorisms of Vivekananda
(Source: Vivekananda, His Gospel of Man-making)
Arise! Awake! And stop not till the goal is reached
Bless men when they revile you
Conquer yourself and the whole universe is yours
Do not merely endure, but be unattached
Eat to Him, drink to Him, sleep to Him, see Him in all
First get rid of delusion, 'I am the body'
Give everything, and look for no return
Homogeneity, sameness is God
Incarnations like Jesus, Buddha, Ramakrishna, can give religion
Jnana Yoga tells man that he is essentially divine
Knowledge exists, man only discovers it
Look at the Ocean, and not at the wave
Man as the Atman is really free, as man he is bound
Never turn back to see the result of what you have done
Out of purity and silence comes the word of power
Perception is our only real knowledge or religion
Quarrels in religion are always over the husks
Religion without philosophy runs into superstition
See no difference between man and angel
The more our bliss is within, the more spiritual we are
Unchaste imagination is as bad as unchaste action
Vedas cannot show you Brahman, you are That already
We are human coverings over the Divine
Xian you will be when you see Christ. Look only for realisation
You are good, but be better
Zeal with faith (shraddha): Have this, and everything else is bound to follow.
