Amrutvachan
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.
- Swami Vivekananda

Doing is very good, but that comes from
thinkingFill the brain, therefore, with high
thoughts, highest ideas; place them day and night
before you; and out of that will great work
- Swami Vivekananda
Amrutvachan
Education should be Man-Making education. A
negative education or any training that is
based on negation is worse than death. It
should be able to create Shraddha in the
student to all life (parents, society, nation etc).
Education is not the amount of information
that is put into a brain and runs riot there,
undigested, all life. We must have life-building,
man-making, character-making, assimilation
of ideas. Education is the manifestation of the perfection
already in man.
- Swami Vivekananda
Amrutvachan
The history of the world is the history of a few
men who had faith in themselves. That faith
calls out the divinity within. You can do
anything. You fail only when you do not strive
sufciently to manifest innite power. As soon
as a man or a nation loses faith, death comes.
Whatever you think, that you will be. If you
think yourself weak, weak you will be; if you
think yourself strong, strong you will be. The Vedanta teaches
men to have faith in themselves rst. As certain religions of the
world say that a man who does not believe in a personal God
outside of himself is an atheist, so the Vedanta says, a man
who does not believe in himself is an atheist. The goal is to
manifest the divinity within by controlling nature, external and
internal. Do this either by work or worshiper psychic control or
philosophy by one or more all of these and be free.
- Swami Vivekananda
Amrutvachan
Behind everything, the same divinity is
existing, and out of this comes the basis of
morality. Do not injure another. Love everyone
as your own self, because the whole universe
is one; in injuring another, I am injuring
myself; in loving another, I am loving myself.
From this also springs that principle of
Advaita, morality, which has been summed up
in one word, self-abnegation.The highest principle, the Lord of
all, cannot be a person. The Jiva is an individual and the sum
total of all Jivas is Ishvara. In the Jiva, Avidya, or nescience, is
predominant, but Isvara controls Maya, composed of Avidya
and Vidya (knowledge), and independently projects this world
of movable and immovable things out of Himself. Brahman
transcends both the individual and collective aspects, the Jiva
and Ishvara. In Brahman, there is no part.
- Swami Vivekananda
Amrutvachan
When a man has begun to be ashamed of his
ancestors, the end has come. Here I am one
of the least of the Hindu race, yet proud of my
race, proud of my ancestors. I am proud to call
myself a Hindu, I am proud that I am one of
your unworthy servants. I am proud that I am
countryman of yours. You are the descendants
of the sages, you are descendants of the most
glorious Rishis that world ever saw.
- Swami Vivekananda
Amrutvachan
We are to take care of ourselves-that much we
can do-and give up attending to others for a
time. Let us perfect the means; the end will
take care of itself. For the world can be good
and pure, only if our lives are good and pure. It
is an effect, and we are the means. Therefore,
let us purify ourselves. Let us make ourselves
perfect.
- Swami Vivekananda
Amrutvachan
If there is one word that you nd coming out
like a bomb from the Upanishads, bursting like
a bombshell upon masses of ignorance, it is
the word, fearlessness. And the only religion
that ought to be taught is the religion of
fearlessness. Either in this world or in the
world of religion, it is true that fear is the sure
cause of degradation and sin. It is fear that
brings misery, fear that brings death, fear that breeds evil.
