Sayings of Swami Vivekananda

  • Each soul is potentially Divine. The goal is to manifest that Divinity within.
  • Doing is very good, but that comes from thinking …. Fill the brain, therefore, with high thoughts, highest ideals, place them day and night before you, and out of that will come great work.
  • One should try to acquire knowledge moment by moment and acquire wealth bit by bit. How (can one get) knowledge if a moment is lost (wasted)? How (can one get) wealth if the bit is lost (wasted)? – A Traditional saying [source – The Vedanta Kesari magazine. July 2008]

Studying Religion

There are four things to study in a religion..
1. Its founder – whose life and character will be impressed on it
2. The religion – for the masses of the people
3. The philosophy – necessary for the learned and the cultured
4. The mysticism – expressing the universal yearning of the human spirit for union with its source
