Today's Vivekananda Quote

 

SV Reclining

"To be weak is to be miserable," says Milton. Doing and suffering are inseparably joined. Often, too, the one who laughs most is the one who suffers most. "To work you have the right, not to the fruits thereof."

 

Retreat given at the Thousand Island Park, USA.

 June 28, 1895. Complete Works, 7. 20.

Today's Vivekananda Quote

 

The grandest idea in the religion of Vedanta is that we may reach the same goal by different paths; and these paths I have generalized into four, viz those of work, love, psychology, and knowledge.

 

Karma Yoga. New York, 1896. Complete Works, 1: 108

 

It is not generally known that it was Swami Vivekananda who first categorized and systematized widely diverse spiritual practices -- "yogas" -- into four, viz Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Raja Yoga, and Jnana Yoga.

Today's Vivekananda Quote

I look upon miracles as the greatest stumbling-blocks in the way of truth. When the disciples of Buddha told him of a man who had performed a so-called miracle--had taken a bowl from a great height without touching it--and showed him the bowl, he took it and crushed it under his feet and told them never to build their faith on miracles, but to look for truth in everlasting principles. He taught them the true inner light--the light of the spirit, which is the only safe light to go by. Miracles are only stumbling-blocks. Let us brush them aside.

 

Talk given at Unity Hall, Hartford (Connecticut), USA, on March 8, 1895, as reported in "Hartford Times" (March 11, 1895). Complete Works, 1. 328.

Today's Vivekananda Quote

 

SV Reclining

I consider that the great national sin is the neglect of the masses, and that is one of the causes of our downfall. No amount of politics would be of any avail until the masses in India are once more well educated, well fed, and well cared for. They pay for our education, they build our temples, but in return they get kicks. They are practically our slaves. If we want to regenerate India, we must work for them.

 

Interview in Madras Times. Chennai, February 1897. Complete Works, 5. 222-23.
