Here is my collection of some beautiful words of wisdom by the Indian monk and Youth Icon Swami vivekananda on wealth. Take a look :
- Our power, and blessedness, and wisdom, cannot but grow into the Infinite. Infinite power and existence and blessedness are ours, and we have not to acquire them; they are our own, and we have only to manifest them. - Practical Vedanta: Part III, Practical Vedanta and Other Lectures, Volume 2
- The human soul is the repository of infinite wisdom. - Knowledge: Its Source and Acquirement, Translations: Prose, Volume 4
- In Sanskrit, God means absolute existence, knowledge, and wisdom, infinite self-luminous consciousness. No person. It is impersonal. - Meditation, Lectures and Discourses, Volume 4
- Wisdom (Jnana) is the goal of all life. We find that man enjoys his intellect more than an animal enjoys its senses; and we see that man enjoys his spiritual nature even more than his rational nature. So the highest wisdom must be this spiritual knowledge. With this knowledge will come bliss. - Unity, the Goal of Religion, Lectures and Discourses, Volume 3
- Divine wisdom is to be got by devotion, meditation, and chastity. - Wednesday, July 10, Inspired Talks, Volume 7
- Religion, which is the highest knowledge and the highest wisdom, cannot be bought, nor can it be acquired from books. You may thrust your head into all the corners of the world, you may explore the Himalayas, the Alps, and the Caucasus, you may sound the bottom of the sea and pry into every nook of Tibet and the desert of Gobi, you will not find it anywhere until your heart is ready for receiving it. - Qualifications of the Aspirant and the Teacher, Bhakti Yoga, Volume 3
- Wisdom and philosophy do not want to be carried on floods of blood. Wisdom and philosophy do not march upon bleeding human bodies, do not march with violence but come on the wings of peace and love, and that has always been so. - The Work before us, Lectures from Colombo to Almora, Volume 3
- A man must not say he is poor, or that he is wealthy - he must not brag of his wealth. Let him keep his own counsel; this is his religious duty. This is not mere worldly wisdom; if a man does not do so, he may be held to be immoral. - Each is Great in His Own Place, Karma Yoga, Volume 1
- Each one of our Yogas is fitted to make man perfect even without the help of the others, because they have all the same goal in view. The Yogas of work, of wisdom, and of devotion are all capable of serving as direct and independent means for the attainment of Moksha. - Non-Attachment is Complete Self-Abnegation, Karma Yoga, Volume 1
- We think we are going to get security, strength, wisdom, happiness from the outside. We always hope but never realize our hope. Never does any help come from the outside. - Is Vedanta The Future of Religion?, Lectures and Discourses, Volume 8
