Have faith in yourselves, and stand up on that faith and be strong; that is what we need.
Swami VivekanandaThe brain and muscles must develop simultaneously. Iron nerves with an intelligent brain โ and the whole world is at your feet.
Swami VivekanandaLet him who has courage in his mind and love in his heart come with me. I want none else.
Swami VivekanandaAs to the so-called Hindu idolatry - first go and learn the forms they are going through, and where it is that the worshippers are really worshipping, whether in the temple, in the image, or in the temple of their own bodies. First know for certain what they are doing - which more than ninety per cent of the revilers are thoroughly ignorant of - and then it will explain itself in the light of the Vedantic philosophy.
Swami VivekanandaThe one eternal religion is applied to the opinions of various minds and various races. There never was my religion or yours, my national religion or your national religion; there never existed many religions, there is only the one. One infinite religion existed all through eternity and will ever exist, and this religion is expressing itself in various countries in various ways.
Swami Vivekananda
