AVOID ALL MYSTERY

" What we want is vigour in the blood, strength in the nerves, iron muscles and nerves of steel, not softening namby-pamby ideas. Avoid all mystery. There is no mystery in religion. Mystery mongering and superstition are always signs of weakness "

- Swami Vivekananda

IDLE GOSSIP

 " Idle gossip and barren ceremonials won't do "

MOUNTAINS CAN BE CRUSHED TO ATOMS

 " Through concentration of mind everything can be accomplished - even mountains can be crushed to atoms. Concentration is the means through which we can gain anything and everything, mental, moral, or spiritual. "

I WANT SAPPERS AND MINERS IN THE ARMY OF RELIGION

I WANT SAPPERS AND MINERS IN THE ARMY OF RELIGION

I want sappers and miners in the army of religion. So, boys, set yourselves to the task of training your muscles. For ascetics, mortification is all right, for workers, well - developed bodies, muscles of iron and nerves of steel

- Swami Vivekananda

FIRE OF SPIRITUALITY

 " It is in the nature of things that many should fall, that troubles should arise, that tremendous difficulties should arise, that selfishness and all the other devils in the human heart should struggle hard, when they are about to be driven out by the fire of spirituality. The road to the good is the roughest and steepest in the universe. It is a wonder that so many succeed,; no wonder that so many succeed; no wonder that so many fall. Character has to be established through a thousand stumbles"
