Inspirations from Swami Vivekananda

Arise, Awake and Stop not till the Goal is Reached.

Be brave! Be strong! Be fearless! Once you have taken up the spiritual
life, fight as long as there is any life in you.

Even though you know you are
going to be killed, fight till you “are killed.” Don’t die of fright. Die
fighting. Don’t go down till you are knocked down......Swami Vivekananda

To succeed, you must have tremendous perseverance, tremendous will. “I will drink the ocean”, says the persevering soul; “at my will mountains will crumble up”. Have that sort of energy, that sort of will; work hard, and you will reach the goal....

Tell the truth boldly, whether it hurts or not. Never pander to weakness. If truth is too much for intelligent people and sweeps them away, let them go; the sooner the better....Swami Viveknanda

Be a hero. Always say, “I have no fear.” Tell this to everyone—“Have no fear.”
...

Take up one idea.Make that one idea your life , think of it ,dream of it,live on that idea.Let the brain, muscles,nerves,every part of your body,be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone .This is the way to success,the way great spiritual giants are produced...

We are responsible for waht we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions,it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present action.So we have to know how to act....

Freedom can never be reached by the weak. Throw away all weakness. Tell your body that it is strong, tell your mind that it is strong, and have unbounded faith and hope in yourself...

Go on saying, “I am free.” Never mind if the next moment delusion comes and says, “I am bound.” Dehypnotize the whole thing.

It is our own mental attitude which makes the world what it is for us. Our thought make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see things in the proper light. First, believe in this world -- that there is meaning behind everything. Everything in the world is good, is holy and beautiful. If you see something evil, think that you are not understanding it in the right light. throw the burden on yourselves!

Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin ? to say that you are weak, or others are weak...Swami Vivekananda

The weak have no place here, in this life or any other life. Weakness leads to slavery. Weakness leads to all kinds of misery, physical and mental. Weakness is death....Swami Vivekanada
