Don't lower your goals to level of your abilities...Raise your abilities to the height of your goals. - Swami Vivekananda
Forward! We want infinite energy, infinite zeal, infinite courage and infinite patience, then only will great things be achieved.
Shall we advice people to kneel down and cry, "O miserable sinners that we are!" No, rather let us remind them of their divine nature.
For the coming fifty years, let this alone be the object of your worship, this motherland of ours. Let all other vain Gods disappear.
The essence of Vedanta is that there is but one Being and that every soul is that Being in full, not a part of that being...Swami Vivekananda
And the greatest error, says the Vedanta is to say that you are weak, that you are a sinner, a miserable creature, and that you have no power and you cannot do this and that. -Swami Vivekananda
Every man going out of the Hindu pale is not only a man less, but an enemy the more. - Swami Vivekananda
Religion as a science, as a study, is the greatest and healthiest exercise that the human mind can have.
Those who have no faith in themselves can never have faith in God.
