I really admire this GREAT personality — Swami Vivekananda. He introduced Hindu (Indian) philosophies and spirituality like Vedanta, Yoga, Meditation, and Hinduism to the western countries.
Here are 20 quotes by Swami Vivekananda that can guide you in your life.
1. Take Calculated Risks
“Take risks in your life, If you win, you can lead! If you loose, you can guide!”
2. Be Obsessed With Your Idea
“Take up one idea, make that one idea your life. Think of it, dream of it, Live on that 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.”
3. Meditate
“Meditation can turn fools in to sages but unfortunately fools never meditate.”
4. See Good In Others
“Learn everything that is good from others, but bring it in, and in your own way adsorb it; do not become others.”
5. Work Like a Master
“You should work like a master and not as a slave; work incessantly, but do not do a slave’s work.”
6. Believe In Yourself
“You cannot believe in god until you believe in yourself.”
7. Meet Yourself Everyday
“Talk to yourself once in a day.. otherwise you may miss meeting an excellent person in this world.”
8. Think Clear
“We are what our thought have made us; So take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; They travel far.”
9. All Power Is In You
“Have faith in yourself — all power is in you. Even the poison of a snake is powerless, if you can firmly deny it.”
10. You’re Your Best Teacher
“You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.”
11. Stick With Your Goal
“Arise awake and stop not until the goal is achieved.”
12. Don’t Hate Anybody
“Do not hate anybody, because that hatred which comes out from you must, in the long run, come back to you, if you love, that love will come back to you, completing the circle.”
13. GOD Is Within Us
“Where can we go to find GOD if we cannot see him in ours own hearts and in every living being.”
14. Develop Concentration
“The power of concentration is the only key to the treasure-house of knowledge.”
15. Think Ahead of Time!
“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.”
16. Conquer Yourself
“Conquer yourself and the whole universe is yours.”
17. Live With These Rules
“3 Golden rules!! Who is helping you, don’t forget them. Who is loving you, don’t hate them. Who is trusting you, don’t cheat them.”
18. You’re NOT Weak
“The greatest sin is to think that you are weak.”
19. Understand Hinduism
“I am proud to belong to a religion which has taught the world tolerance & universal acceptance. we believe not only in universal toleration but we accept all religion as true.”
20. Build Your Character
“Neither money pays, not name, nor fame, nor learning; it is CHARACTER that an cleave through adamantine walls of difficulties.”
