GREAT THOUTS OF SWAMI VIVEKANANDA
- SWAMI VIVEKANANDA WAS A GRAET PHILOSOFER OF 19 TH CENTURYSOME OF THEIR THOUGHTS I FOUND ON INTERNET. THESE WILL GIVE YOU REAL POWER OF LIFE. IF YOU LIKE IT THEN RESPONCE ME. 1)“All the power is within you; you can do anything and everything.
Believe in that; don’t believe that you are weak. Stand up and express the divinity with in you” "Hear,
ye children of
immortal bliss! Even ye that reside in higher spheres! I have found the Ancient One who is beyond all darkness, all delusion: knowing Him alone you shall be saved from death over again." "Children of immortal bliss" -- what a sweet, what a hopeful name! Allow me to call you, brethren, by that sweet name -- heirs of immortal bliss -- yea, the Hindu refuses to call you sinners. Ye are the Children of God, the sharers of immortal bliss, holy and perfect beings. Ye divinities on earth -- sinners! It is a sin to call a man so; it is a standing libel on human nature. Come up, O lions, and shake off the delusion that you are sheep; you are souls immortal, spirits
free, blest and eternal; ye are not matter, ye are not bodies; matter is your servant, not you the servant of matter.”
3) “Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this divinity within. By controlling nature, external & internal. Do this either by work, or worship, or psychic control, or philosophy by one, or more, or all of these and be free. This is the whole of
religion. Doctrines, or dogmas, or rituals, or books, or temples, or forms, are but secondary details.”
4) All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in our own mind.
5) “Arise! Awake! And stop not till the goal is reached.”
6) “Stand up, be bold, and take the blame on your own shoulders. Do not go about throwing mud at others; for all the faults you suffer from, you are the sole and only cause.” 7) “OUR PRESENT IS THE RESULT OF OUR PAST ACTIVITIES AND WE ARE RESPONCIBLE FOR WHAT WE ARE.IT CERTANLLY FOLLOWS THAT OUR FUTURE WILL BE RESULT OF OUR PRESENT ACTIVITIES.SO WE SHOULD KNOW HOW TO ACT.”
8) “Never quarrel about RELIGION. All quarrels and disputations concerning religion simply show that SPIRITUALITY is NOT present. Religious quarrels are always over the husks. When purity, spirituality goes, leaving the Soul dry, quarrels begin and not before.”
9) “There is only one sin and it is: weakness. When I was a boy, I read Minton’s Paradise Lost. The only good man I had any respect for was Satan. The only saint is that person who never weakens, faces everything, and determines die game.”
10) “He is an atheist who does not believe in himself. The old religions said that he was an atheist who did not believe in God. The new religion says that he is an atheist who does not believe in himself.”
11) All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.
12) “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.”
13) “The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.”
14) “Take up one
idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on 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.”
15) “If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.”
16) “What the world wants is character. The world is in need of those whose life is oneburning love—selfless. That love will make every word tell like a thunderbolt. Aware, awake, great souls! The world is burning in misery. Can you sleep?”
17) Always discriminate—your body, your house, the people around, and the world are all unreal like a dream. Always think that this body is only an inert instrument. And the Atman within is your real nature.
18) They are forever free who renounce all selfish desires and break away from the ego-cage of "I,” “me,” and “mine” to be united with the Lord. Attain to this, and pass from death to immortality. -SHRIMAD BHAGAVDGITA.
19)The importance of time management: "Lost wealth may be replaced by hard work, lost knowledge by study, lost health by care and medicine, but lost time is gone forever!" So use your time wisely!
