    Swami Vivekananda on Ethics:

    Swami Vivekananda ( 12 January 1863 – 4 July 1902) was an Indian Hindu monk and chief disciple
    of the 19th-century saint Ramakrishna. He was a key figure in the introduction of the Indian
    philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the western world and is credited with raising interfaith
    awareness, bringing Hinduism to the status of a major world religion in the late 19th century. He was
    a major force in the revival of Hinduism in India and contributed to the notion of nationalism in
    colonial India. Vivekananda founded the Ramakrishna Math and the Ramakrishna Mission. He is
    perhaps best known for his inspiring speech beginning with "Sisters and Brothers of America through
    which he introduced Hinduism at the Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago in 1893.
    Teachings and philosophy of Swami Vivekananda stressed on different aspects of religion,
    education, character building as well as social issues . Rabindranath Tagore commented about
    Swami Vivekananda and his teachings, "If you want to know India, study Vivekananda. In him
    everything is positive and nothing negative. According to Vivekananda a country's future depends on
    its people, so he mainly stressed on man."man-making is my mission", that's how he described his
    teaching. Vivekananda put his real ideals in few words and that was: "to preach unto mankind their
    divinity, and how to make it manifest in every movement of life.
    Swami Vivekananda believed education is the manifestation of perfection already in men. He
    thought that the system of education should enable a person to stand on his own feet, and it should
    teach him self-confidence and self-respect. To Vivekananda, education was not only collection of
    information, but something more meaningful; he felt education should be man-making, life giving and
    character-building. To him education is an assimilation of noble ideas.
    He stated: Education is not the amount of information that we put into our brain and runs riot there,
    undigested, We must have assimilation of life building, man making, character making ideas in our
    education. If we have assimilated these ideas and made them our life and character, we have a
    meaningful education .
    Swami Vivekananda realized three things are necessary to make every man and every nation great:
    Conviction of the powers of goodness.
    Absence of jealousy and suspicion.
    Helping all who are in need of help and do good.
    Swami Vivekananda suggested to try to give up jealousy and conceit and learn to work unitedly for
    others. He told, purity, patience and perseverance overcome all obstacles. He suggested to take
    courage and work on. Patience and steady work, according to Swami Vivekananda are the only way
    to get success.
    According to Swami Vivekananda "faith, faith and faith in ourselves is the secret of greatness.
    Swami Vivekananda observed.. the history of the world is the history of a few men who had faith in
    themselves, and it is faith which calls out divinity within. So he told, if people have faith in three
    hundred and thirty millions of Hindu mythological gods, and in all the gods which foreigners have
    now and still have no faith in themselves, there will be no salvation. 
    Swami Vivekananda believed, if there is any land on this earth that can lay claim to be the blessed
    punyabhumi (land of virtue), ... the land where humanity has attained its highest state towards
    generosity, towards purity, towards calmness, above all, the land of introspection and of spirituality -
    it is India.
    According to Swami Vivekananda integration of will of the people is the power of a nation.
    Vivekananda prescribed.... to make India a great country we need to organize, integrate and co-
    ordinate wills of people of india.................
