  • There is but one soul throughout the universe, all is but one existence - "Thou art in the woman, thou in the man, thou in the young man walking in the pride of youth, thou in the old man tottering on his stick - thou art All - in all, in everything, and I am thee, because I am made from thee."

  • What is this universe but name and form?

    Swami Vivekananda (2015). “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda”, p.511, Manonmani Publishers
  • All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in our own mind.

    Swami Vivekananda (2015). “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda”, p.34, Manonmani Publishers
  • All these disciplines are for the purification of the heart. And as soon as it is pure, all truths flash upon it in a minute; all truth in the universe will manifest in your heart, if you are sufficiently pure.

    Swami Vivekananda (2015). “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda”, p.377, Manonmani Publishers
  • One atom in this universe cannot move without dragging the whole world along with it. There cannot be any progress without the whole world following in the wake, and it is becoming every day dearer that the solution of any problem can never be attained on racial, or national, or narrow grounds.

    Swami Vivekananda (2015). “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda”, p.1182, Manonmani Publishers
  • The greatest force is derived from the power of thought. The finer the element, the more powerful it is. The silent power of thought influences people even at a distance, because mind is one as well as many. The universe is a cobweb; minds are spiders.

    Swami Vivekananda (2001). “Prabuddha Bharata: Or Awakened India”
  • Some imaginations help to break the bondage of the rest. The whole universe is imagination, but one set of imaginations will cure another set. Those that tell us that there is sin and sorrow and death in the world are terrible. But the other set - thou art holy, there is God, there is no pain - these are good, and help to break the bondage of the others. The highest imagination that can break all the links of the chain is that of the Personal God.

    Swami Vivekananda (1997). “Prabuddha Bharata: Or Awakened India”
  • Unity in variety is the plan of the universe.

    Swami Vivekananda, Swami Adiswarananda (2006). “Vivekananda, World Teacher: His Teachings on the Spiritual Unity of Humankind”, p.53, SkyLight Paths Publishing
  • What makes you weep, my friend? In you is all power. Summon up your all-powerful nature, O mighty one, and this whole universe will lie at your feet. It is the Self alone that predominates, and not matter.

    Swami Vivekananda (2004). “Prabuddha Bharata: Or Awakened India”
  • The road to gooď is the roughest and steepest in the universe. It is a wonder that so many succeed, no wonder that so many fall. Character has to be established through a thousand stumbles.

    Swami Vivekananda (2015). “Personality Development”, p.22, Advaita Ashrama
  • Say So'ham, So'ham whatever comes. Tell yourself this even in eating, walking, suffering. Tell the mind this incessantly-that what we see never existed, that there is only I. Flash-the dream will break! Think day and night, this universe is zero, only God is. Have intense desire to get free.

  • This universe is the wreckage of the infinite on the shores of the finite.

  • Though an atom is invisible, unthinkable, yet in it are the whole power and potency of the universe.

    Swami Vivekananda (2015). “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda”, p.3152, Manonmani Publishers
  • When we come to nonattachment, then we can understand the marvelous mystery of the universe: how it is intense activity and at the same time intense peace, how it is work every moment and rest every moment.

    Swami Vivekananda, Ann Myren (1993). “Living at the Source: Yoga Teachings of Vivekananda”, Shambhala Publications
  • Last of all will come self-surrender. Then we shall be able to give ourselves up to the Mother. If misery comes, welcome; if happiness comes, welcome. Then, when we come up to this love, all crooked things shall be straight. There will be the same sight for the Brahmin, the Pariah, and the dog. Until we love the universe with samesightedness, with impartial, undying love, we are missing again and again. But then all will have vanished, and we shall see in all the same infinite eternal Mother.

    Swami Vivekananda (2015). “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda”, p.2644, Manonmani Publishers
  • Knowledge is inherent in man; no knowledge comes from outside; it is all inside. We say Newton discovered gravitation. Was it sitting anywhere waiting for him? It was in his own mind; the time came and he found it out. All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in our own mind. The external world is simply the suggestion, the occasion, which sets you to study your own mind.

    Swami Vivekananda (1994). “Awakened India”
  • The Absolute and the Infinite can become this universe only by limitation.

    Swami Vivekananda (2015). “Jnana Yoga: The Yoga of Knowledge”, p.41, Advaita Ashrama
  • The Absolute God of the universe, the creator, preserver, and destroyer of the universe, is impersonal principle.

    Swami Vivekananda (2015). “Meditation and Its Methods”, p.34, editionNEXT.com
  • We are all born idolaters, and idolatry is good, because it is in the nature of man. Who can get beyond it? Only the perfect man, the God-man. The rest are all idolaters. So long as we see this universe before us, with its forms and shapes, we are all idolaters. This is a gigantic symbol we are worshipping. He who says he is the body is a born idolater.

  • There is no God separate from you, no God higher than you, the real "you." All the gods are little beings to you, all the ideas of God and Father in heaven are but your own reflection. God Himself is your image. “God created man after His own image." That is wrong. Man creates God after his own image. That is right. Throughout the universe we are creating gods after our own image. We create the god and fall down at his feet and worship him; and when this dream comes, we love it !

    "The Complete Works of the Swami Vivekananda".
  • Let us calmly and in a manly fashion go to work, instead of dissipating our energy in unnecessary frettings and fumings. I, for one, thoroughly believe that no power in the universe can withhold from anyone anything he really deserves. The past was great no doubt, but I sincerely believe that the future will be more glorious still.

    Believe  
    Swami Vivekananda (2016). “Vivekananda Reader”, p.202, Advaita Ashrama (A publication branch of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math)
  • All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.

    Swami Vivekananda (2016). “Thoughts of Power”, p.3, Advaita Ashrama (A publication branch of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math)
  • All motion in this universe is in the form of waves, successively rising and falling.

    Swami Vivekananda (2015). “Jnana Yoga: The Yoga of Knowledge”, p.111, editionNEXT.com
  • Truth, purity, and unselfishness wherever these are present, there is no power below or above the sun to crush the possessor thereof. Equipped with these, one individual is able to face the whole universe in opposition.

    Swami Vivekananda (2016). “Vivekananda Reader”, p.202, Advaita Ashrama (A publication branch of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math)
  • There is only one Soul in the Universe. There is no 'you' or 'me'; all variety is merged into the absolute unity, the one infinite existence - God.

    Swami Vivekananda (2015). “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda”, p.4798, Manonmani Publishers
  • Every atom is trying to go and join itself to the next atom. Atoms after atoms combine, making huge balls, the earths, the suns, the moons, the stars, the planets. They in their turn, are trying to rush towards each other, and at last, we know that the whole universe, mental and material, will be fused into one.

    Swami Vivekananda (2015). “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda”, p.2496, Manonmani Publishers
  • Suppose cats became philosophers, they would see a cat universe and have a cat solution of the problem of the universe, and a cat ruling it. So we see from this that our explanation of the universe is not the whole of the solution.

    Swami Vivekananda (2015). “Jnana Yoga: The Yoga of Knowledge”, p.65, editionNEXT.com
  • This is the secret of spiritual life: to think that I am the Atman and not the body, and that the whole of this universe with all its relations, with all its good and all its evil, is but as a series of paintings...scenes on a canvas...of which I am the witness.

  • Everything that we perceive around us is struggling towards freedom, from the atom to the man, from the insentient, lifeless particle of matter to the highest existence on earth, the human soul. The whole universe is in fact the result of this struggle for freedom.

    Men  
    Swami Vivekananda (2015). “Karma Yoga: The Yoga of Action”, p.64, Advaita Ashrama
  • They alone live whose lives are in the whole universe, and the more we concentrate our lives on limited things, the faster we go towards death. Those moments alone we live when our lives are in the universe, in others; and living this little life is death, simply death, and that is why the fear of death comes.
