Swami Vivekananda- The Iconic Hero of Young Generation QUOTES OF SWAMI VIVEKANANDA
“Ask nothing; want nothing in return. Give what you have to give; it will come back to you, but do not think of that now.”
“We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in the future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.”
“All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.”
“Each work has to pass through these stages -ridicule, opposition, and then acceptance. Those who think ahead of their time are sure to be misunderstood.”
“Do one thing at a Time, and while doing it put your whole Soul into it to the exclusion of all else.”
“Shri Ramakrishna use to say, "As Long as I Live, so long do I learn". That man or that society which has nothing to learn is already in the jaws of death.”
“Never say, "O Lord, I am a miserable sinner." Who will help you? You are the help of the universe. What in this universe can help you? What can prevail over you? You are the God of the universe; where can you seek for help? Never help came from anywhere but from yourself. In your ignorance, every prayer that you made and that was answered, you thought was answered by some Being, but you answered the prayer yourself unknowingly. The help came from yourself, and you fondly imagined that someone was sending help to you. There is no help for you outside of yourself; you are the creator of the universe. Like the silkworm, you have built a cocoon around yourself. Who will save you? Burst your own cocoon and come out as a beautiful butterfly, as the free soul. Then alone you will see Truth.”
“The whole life is a succession of dreams. My ambition is to be a conscious dreamer, that is all.”
