1 GOLDEN WORDS OF SWAMI VIVEKANANDA When there is a conflict between the
2 heart and the brain, let the heart be followed. 2
3 A man of intellect can turn into a devil, but never a man of heart. 3
4 Religion is not a theoretical need but a practical necessity. 4
5 Renunciation does not mean simply dispassion for the world. It means dispassion for the world and also longing for God. 5
6 There is no misery where there is no want. 6
7 The secret of life is not enjoyment, but education through experience. 7
8 Every new thought must create opposition. 8
9 Renunciation is the withdrawal of mind from other things and concentrating it on God. 9
10 Every man who thinks ahead of his time is sure to be misunderstood. 10
11 In this short life there is no time for the exchange of compliments. 11
12 Do not wait to cross the river when the water has all run down. 12
13 The greatest sin is fear. 13
14 Better the scolding of the wise than the adulation of the fools. 14
15 If you love God's creation more than God, you will be disillusioned. 15
16 Everything can be sacrificed for truth, but truth can't be sacrificed for anything. 16
17 God has become man, man will become god again. 17
18 If it is impossible to attain perfection here and now, there is no proof that we can attain perfection in any other life. 18
19 That part of the Vedas which agrees with reason is the Vedas, and nothing else. 19
20 If you want to do anything evil, do it before the eyes of your superiors. 20
21 Happiness presents itself before man, wearing the crown of sorrow on its head. 21
22 If one is a slave to his passions and desires, one cannot feel the pure joy of real freedom. 22
23 If you can't attain salvation in this life, what proof is there that you can attain it in the life or lives to come? 23
24 Never mind if your contribution is only a mite, your help only a little, blades of grass united into a rope will 24
25 hold in confinement the maddest of elephants. The cow never tells a lie, and the stone never steals, but, nevertheless, the 25
26 cow remains a cow and the stone remains a stone. Man steals and man tells a lie, and again it is man that becomes the god. 26
27 When even man never hears the cries of the fool, do you think God will? 27
28 Strength is life, weakness is death. 28
29 Never are the wants of a beggar fulfilled. We want the education by 29
30 which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one's own feet. 30
31 Let the heart be opened first, and all else will follow of itself. 31
32 Tell the man his defaults directly but praise his virtues before others. 32
33 Activity is life and inactivity is death. 33
34 Salvation is not achieved by inactivity but by spiritual activities. 34
35 Even the least work done for others awakens the power within. 35
36 New things have to be learned, have to be introduced and worked out, but is that to be done by sweeping away all that is old, just because it is old? 36
37 The man who says he has nothing more to learn is already at his last grasp 37
38 As long as I live, so do I learn. 38
39 No one can save a person who hires a carriage to go from one street to another, and then complain of diabetes. 39
40 By the control of the subconscious mind you get control over the conscious. 40
41 It is the constant struggle against nature that constitutes human progress, not conformity with it. 41
42 The very essence of education is 42
43 concentration of mind, not the collecting of facts. As we get further and further away 43
44 from sensepleasures, knowledge for the sake of knowledge becomes the supreme pleasure of mind. 44
45 It is through the many that we reach the one. 45
46 The soul is the circle of which the circumference is nowhere, but the center is the body. God is a circle whose circumference is nowhere, but whose center is everywhere. 46
47 The body itself is the biggest disease. 47
48 If any one of you believes what I teach, I will be sorry. I will only be too glad if I can excite in you the power of thinking for yourselves. 48
49 When the world is the end and God the means to attain that end, that is material. When God is the end and the world is only the means to attain that 49
50 end, spirituality has begun. The fear of God is the beginning of religion, but the love of God is the end of religion. 50
51 Do not give up anything! Things will give you up. 51
52 The sage is often ignorant of physical science, because he reads the wrong bookthe book within; 52
53 and the scientist is too often ignorant of religion, because he reads the wrong book- the book without. 53
54 Experience is the only source of knowledge. 54
55 Do one thing at a time and while doing it put your whole soul into it to the exclusion of all else. 55
56 Where there is life, there will be death; so get away from life if you want to get rid of death. 56
57 Records of great spiritual men of the past do us no good whatever except that they urge us onward to do the same, to experience religion ourselves. 57
58 We may read all the Bibles of the world, but that will not give us religion. 58
59 The brave alone can afford to be sincere. 59
60 The balance is so nice that if you disturb the equilibrium of one atom, the whole world will come to an end. 60
61 Save the spiritual store in your body by observing continence. 61
62 The wicked see in God wickedness. The virtuous see in Him virtue. 62
63 When good nectar is unattainable, it is no reason 63
64 why we should eat poison. 64
65 Love to enemies is not possible for ordinary men. Everything that comes from India take as 65
66 true, until you cogent reasons for disbelieving it. Everything that comes from Europe take as false, until you find cogent reasons for believing it. 66
67 The benefit of Yoga is that we learn to control instead of being controlled. 67
68 Never talk about the faults of others, no matter how bad they may be. 68
69 All quarrels and disputations concerning religion simply show that religion is not present. 69
70 You must not criticize others, you must criticize yourself. 70
71 What you have inside you is what you see in others. 71
72 Our business is to verify not to swallow. 72
73 How can that be loveless which causes love in me? 73
74 You cannot judge a man by his faults. 74
75 You must believe in yourself and then you will believe in God. 75
76 If you are pure, if you are strong, you, one man, is equal to the whole world. 76
77 Mother represents colorless love that knows no barter, love that never dies. 77
78 We trust the man in the street, but there is one being in the universe we 78
79 never trust and that is God. My motto is to learn whatever good things I may come 79
80 across anywhere. The secret of religion lies not 80
81 in theories but in practice. 81
82 Seek for the highest, aim at the highest, and you shall reach the highest. 82
83 There is an ocean of difference between idleness and renunciation. 83
84 The self-seeking man who is looking after personal comforts and leading a lazy life, there is no room for him even in hell. 84
85 Hope is the greatest of all miseries, the highest bliss lies in giving up hope. 85
86 No one ever succeeded in keeping society in good humor and at the same 86
87 time did great works. Know that talking ill of others in private is a sin. 87
88 This Atman is not to be attained by one who is weak. 88
89 Whatever fosters materiality is no work. 89
90 Why look up to men for approbation, look up to God. 90
91 He who knows how to obey knows how to command. 91
92 Want of sympathy and lack of energy 92
93 are at the root of all misery. India is the only place where, 93
94 with all its faults, the soul finds its freedom, its God. 94
95 It is the heart that conquers, not the brain. 95
96 All the strength is in you, have faith in it. 96
97 The body must go no mistake about that. It is better to wear out than to rust out. 97
98 In every attempt there are many obstacles to cope with, but gradually the path becomes smooth. 98
99 One must raise oneself by one's own exertions. 99
100 Both attachment and detachment perfectly developed make a man great and happy. 100
101 Where there is struggle, where there is rebellion, there is a sign of life, there consciousness is manifested. 101
102 Isn't it man that makes money? Where did you ever hear of money making man? 102
103 He who always speculates as to what awaits him in future, accomplishes nothing whatsoever. 103
104 Fear is one of the worst enemies. 104
105 If one intends to really find truth, one must not cling to comfort. 105
106 We manufacture our own heaven and can make a heaven even in hell. 106
107 The satisfaction of desire only increases it, as oil poured on fire makes it burn more fiercely. 107
108 Both happiness and misery are chains, the one golden, the other iron; but both are equally strong to bind us. 108
109 The world is neither true nor untrue, it is a shadow of truth. 109
110 Let us get rid of the little 'I' and let only the great 'I' live in us. 110
111 Concentration of the mind is the source of all knowledge. 111
112 Keep your thoughts on virtue; what we think we become. 112
113 What we are, we see outside, for the world is our mirror. 113
114 Resist not evil. Face it! You are higher than evil. 114
115 Anything we do ourselves, that is the only thing we do
116 Be cautious now and do not bow, however sweet to chains. 116
117 Anything that brings spiritual, mental or physical weakness, touch it not with the toes of your feet. 117
118 Everything that has selfishness for its basis, competition as its right hand, and enjoyment 118
119 as its goal, must die sooner or later. This is a battlefield, fight your way out. Make your life a 119
120 manifestation of will strengthened by renunciation. 120
121 Be the witness, never learn to react. 121
122 The Hindus believe that a man is a soul and has a body, while Western people believe he is a body and possesses a soul. 122
123 Of all the scriptures of the world, it is the Vedas alone which declare that the study of the Vedas is secondary. 123
124 I find that whenever I have made a mistake in my life, it has always been because self entered into the calculation. 124
125 Never forget that a man is made great and perfect as much by his faults as by his virtues. 125
126 If a bad time comes, what of it? The pendulum must swing back to the other side. But that is no better. The thing to do is to stop it. 126
127 This world is our friend when we are its slaves and no more. 127
128 Whatever others think or do, lower not your standard of purity, morality, and love of God. 128
129 The road to the Good is the roughest and steepest in the universe. Character has to 129
130 be established through a thousand stumbles. Eating, drinking, dressing, and society 130
131 nonsense are not things to throw a life upon. 131
132 He who is always afraid of loss always loses. Any amount of theoretical 132
133 knowledge one may have; but unless one does the thing actually, nothing is learnt. 133
134 Don't yield to sorrow; everything is in God's hands. 134
135 In our moments of anguish, gates barred for ever seem to open and let in many a flood of light. 135
136 Every bit of pleasure will bring its quota of pain, if not with compound interest. 136
137 If one gets one blow, one must return ten with redoubled fury, then only one is a man. 137
138 Don't let egoism to enter your minds, and let love never depart from your hearts. 138
139 It is a land of dreams; it does not matter whether one enjoys or weeps; they are but dreams, and as such, must 139
140 break sooner or later. He whose joy is only in himself, whose desires are only in himself, he has 140
141 learned his lessons. I have worked for this world, Mary, all my life, and it does not 141
142 give me a piece of bread without taking a pound of flesh. Devotion to the mother is the 142
143 root of all welfare. 143
144 It is religion, the inquiry into the beyond, that makes the difference between man and animal. 144
145 Dare to be free, dare to go as far as your thought leads, and dare to carry that out in your life. 145
146 Every idea that strengthens you must be taken up and every thought that weakens you must be rejected. 146
147 The same fire that cooks a meal for us may burn a child, and it is no fault of the fire if it does so; the 147
148 difference lies in the way in which it is used. Whatever you think, that you will be. 148
149 The moment you quarrel, you are not going God ward, you are going 149
150 backward, towards the brutes. First learn to obey, the 150
151 command will come by itself. If there is any sin in the world, it is weakness; 151
152 avoid all weakness, for weakness is sin, weakness is death. In other countries great 152
153 priests try to trace their descent to some king, but here the greatest kings would trace their descent to some ancient priest. 153
154 We, as Vedantists, know for certain that there is no power in the universe to injure us unless we first injure ourselves. 154
155 Faith, faith, faith in ourselves, faith, faith in God this is the secret of greatness. 155
156 To have the ideal is one thing, and to apply it practically to the details of daily life is quite another thing. 156
157 One ounce of practice is worth twenty thousand tons of big talk. 157
158 Let not your work produce results for you, and at the same time may you be never without work. 158
159 Religion is not in books, nor in theories, nor in dogmas, nor in talking, not even in reasoning. It is being and becoming. 159
160 This Atman is not to be reached by too much talk, no, not even by the highest intellect, 160
161 no, not even by the study of Vedas themselves. Whoever has dared to touch our literature has felt the 161
162 bondage, and is there bound for ever. If you have assimilated five ideas and made 162
163 them your life and character, you have more education than any man who has got by heart a whole library. 163
164 No good comes out of the man who day and night thinks he is nobody. 164
165 Follies there are, weakness there must be, but remember your real nature always that is the only way to cure the weakness, that is the only way to cure the follies. 165
166 Everything in this life is fraught with fear. It is renunciation alone that makes one fearless. 166
167 The true man is he who is strong as strength itself and possesses a woman's heart. 167
168 Verily, these three are rare to obtain and come only through the grace of God - human birth, desire to obtain Moksha, and the 168
169 company of the great-souled ones. Why should you feel ashamed to take the name of Hindu, which is your greatest 169
170 and most glorious possession. This religion is so great that even a little of it 170
171 brings a great amount of good. Don't believe what others say unless you 171
172 yourselves know it to be true. Rise at the expense of another? I did not come to earth for that. 172
173 Show your power by suffering. 173
174 Our misery comes, not from work, but by our 174
175 getting attached to something. The man who can't believe in himself, how 175
176 can you expect him to believe in anything else? It is better to do something; never mind if it proves to be 176
177 wrong; it is better than doing nothing. If we can't follow the ideal, let us confess 177
178 our weakness, but not degrade it; let not any try to pull it down. If a man possesses 178
179 everything that is under the sun and does not possess spirituality, what avails it? 179
180 First form character, first earn spirituality and results will come of themselves. 180
181 If we sit down and lament over the imperfection of our bodies and minds, we profit nothing; it is the heroic endeavor to subdue adverse circumstances that carries our spirit upwards. 181
182 Truth, purity and unselfishness wherever these are present, there is no power below or above the sun to crush the possessor thereof. 182
183 No claim is made by the doer of great deeds, only by lazy worthless fools. 183
184 To know God is to become God. 184
185 Bring in the light; the darkness will vanish of itself. 185
186 Ours not to question why, ours but to do and die. 186
187 Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man. Religion is the manifestation of the divinity already in man. 187
188 Conscious efforts lead the way to superconscious illumination. 188
189 Who commits mistakes, the path of truth is attainable by him only. 189
190 He, the brave alone, can deny the self. 190
191 And if this Maya is so beautiful, think of the wondrous beauty of the Reality behind it. 191
192 For one thing we may be grateful; this life is not eternal. 192
193 When the mind tries to think of anything else, give it a hard blow, so that it may turn around 193
194 and think of God. If I am impure, that is also of my own making, and that very thing shows that 194
195 I can be pure if I will. Stand and die in your own strength; if there is any sin 195
196 in the world, it is weakness; avoid all weakness, for weakness is sin, weakness is death. I do not know whether I 196
197 succeed or not, but it is a great thing to take up a grand ideal in life and then give up one's whole life to it. 197
198 In the west, they are trying to solve the problem how much a man can possess, and we are trying here to solve the problem on how little a man can live. 198
199 It is the change of the soul itself for the better that alone will cure the evils of the world. 199
200 Teach yourself, teach every one his real nature, call upon the sleeping soul and see how it awakes. 200
201 Power will come, glory will come, goodness will come, purity will come, and everything that is excellent will come, when this sleeping soul is roused to self 201
202 conscious activity. You have done well; only try to do better. 202
203 Work out the salvation of this land and of the whole world, each of you thinking that the entire burden is on your shoulders. 203
204 Let not the fire die out. 204
205 Is it such a bad choice in this world to think, not of matter but of spirit, not of man but of God? 205
206 If you attempt to get the secular knowledge without religion, I tell you plainly, 206
207 vain is your attempt. Anything that makes you weak physically, intellectually, 207
208 and spiritually, reject as poison; there is no life in it; it cannot be true. Love opens the most impossible 208
209 gates; love is the gate to all the secrets of the universe. 209
210 Never let curses rise on your lips. 210
211 Feel that you are great and you become great. 211
212 You can't help anyone, you can only serve: serve the children of the Lord, serve the Lord himself, if you have the privilege. 212
213 The moment you fear you are nobody. It is fear that is the great cause of misery in the world. 213
214 Struggle for that Grace. 214
215 If a man goes towards what is false; it is because he can't get what is true. 215
216 Knowledge is the finding of unity in diversity, and the highest point in every science is 216
217 reached when it finds the underlying unity in all variety. Obey the scriptures until you are not strong enough 217
218 to do without them. Help, if you can; if you can't fold your hands and 218
219 stand by and see things go on. Until a man becomes a 219
220 prophet, religion is a mockery. Be not in despair; the way 220
221 is very difficult, like walking on the blade of a razor. Yet despair not; arise, awake, and find the ideal, the goal. 221
222 Death is better than a vegetating ignorant life; it is better to die on the battlefield than to live a life of defeat. 222
223 When you find yourselves suffering, blame yourselves, and try to do better. 223
224 The highest direction is that which takes us to God; every other direction is lower. 224
225 Understand my words in their true spirit and apply yourselves to work in their light. 225
226 I want the why of everything. I leave the how to children. 226
