Swami Vivekananda |
"Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached"
"Fear is death, fear is sin, fear is hell, fear is unrighteousness, fear is wrong life.
All the negative thoughts and ideas that are in the world have proceeded from this evil spirit of fear."
"Great work requires great and persistent effort for a long time,
Character has to be established through a thousand stumbles."
"Who is Helping You, Don’t Forget them,
Who is Loving you, Don’t Hate them,
Who is Believing you, Don’t Cheat them"
"Anything that makes you weak physically,
intellectually and spiritually,
reject as poison."
"Talk to yourself at least once in a Day..
Otherwise you may miss a meeting
with an EXCELLENT person in this World..."
"Relationships are more important than life,
But it is important for those relationships to have life in them..."
"You have to grow from the inside out,
None can teach you, none can make you spiritual,
There is no other teacher but your own soul."
"Like me or Hate me,
both are in my favor,
If you like me I am in your Heart,
If you hate me I am in your mind."
"BY the study of different religions
We find that in essence they are one."
"Where can we go to find God
If we cannot see Him in our own hearts
and in every living being."
"Fill the brain with high thoughts,
highest ideals place them day and night
before you and out of that will come great work."
"Experience is the only teacher we have,
We may talk and reason all our lives,
but we shall not understand a word of truth
until we experience it ourselves."
"It is feeling that is the life,the strength, the vitality,
without which no amount of intellectual activity can reach God."
"Learning and wisdom are superfluities,
the surface glitter merely,
but it is the heart that is the seat of all power."
"Let the mind be cheerful but calm,
Never let it run into excesses,
because every excess will be followed by a reaction."
"Our first duty is not to hate ourselves,
because to advance we must have faith in ourselves first and then in God,
Those who have no faith in themselves can never have faith in God."
"Religion as a science, as a study,
is the greatest and healthiest exercise
that the human mind can have."
