OUR MISERY COMES, NOT FROM WORK

" Our misery comes, not from work, but by our getting attached to something "

- Swami Vivekananda

MOTION IS THE SIGN OF LIFE

I am thoroughtly convinced that no individual or nation can live by holding itself apart from the community of others, and whenever such an attempt has been made under false ideas of greatness, policy, or holiness, the result has always been disastrous to the secluding one. The fact of our isolation from all the other nations of the world is the cause of our degeneration, and its only remedy is getting back into the current of the world. Motion is the sign of life.


- Swami Vivekananda
( Quoted in The discovery of India, p, 402 )

ADVANCE LIKE A HERO

Advance like a hero. Don't be thwarted by anything. How many days will this body last, with its happingess and misery ? When you have got the human body, then rouse the Atman within and say - I have reached the state of fearlessness!......

- Swami Vivekananda

MAKE YOUR LIFE A MANIFESTATION OF WILL

“Make your life a manifestation of will strengthened by Renunciation". 

“Put yourself to work and you will find such tremendous power coming to you that you will feel it hard to bear. Even the least work done for others awakens the power within" 

- Swami Vivekananda
[ From Book : PROPHET AND PATHFINDER - PAGE: 292 ]

BUT IT IS A TREMENDOUS TRUTH THAT IF THERE BE REAL WORTH IN YOU

 " But it is a tremendous truth that if there be real worth in you, the more circumstances against you, the more will that inner power manifest itself "

- Swami Vivekananda
