I have read some writings of an Indian saint, Swami Vivekananda and I am so touched and moved by some of his teachings whom I believe in too.
- Great work requires great and persistent effort for a long time. … Character has to be established through a thousand stumbles.
- Be perfectly resigned, perfectly unconcerned; then alone can you do any true work. No eyes can see the real forces; we can only see the results. Put out self, forget it; just let God work, it is His business.
- Karma is the eternal assertion of human freedom. If we can bring ourselves down by our karma, surely it is in our power to raise ourselves by our own karma.
- We reap what we sow. We are the makers of our own fate. None else has the blame, none has the praise.
- In a day when you don't come across any problems - you can be sure that you are traveling in the wrong path.
- Never mind failures; they are quite natural, they are the beauty of life, these failures. What would life be without them? would not be worth having if it were not for struggles. Where would be the poetry of life? Never mind the struggles, the mistakes. I never heard a cow tell a lie, but it is only a cow -- never a man. So never mind these failures, these little backsliding; hold the ideal a thousand times, and if you fail a thousand times, make the attempt once more.
- Say, ‘This misery that I am suffering is of my own doing,and that very thing proves that it will have to be undone by me alone.’ That which I created, I can demolish; that which is created by someone else, I shall never be able to destroy. Therefore, stand up, be bold, be strong. Take the whole responsibility on your own shoulders, and know that you are the creators of your own destiny. All the strength and succour you want is within ourselves.
- We must overcome difficulty by constant practice. We must learn that nothing can happen to us unless we make ourselves susceptible to it.
- Take up an idea, devote yourself to it, struggle on in patience, and the sun will rise for you.
- Education is the manifestation of perfection present already in man.
* When I Asked God for Strength
He Gave Me Difficult Situations to Face
* When I asked God for intelligence
He Gave Me Puzzles to Solve.
* When I Asked God for Happiness
He Showed Me Some Unhappy People
* When I Asked God for Wealth
He Showed Me How to Work Hard
* When I Asked God for Favors
He Showed Me Opportunities to Work Hard
* When I Asked God for Peace
He Showed Me How to Help Others
* God Gave Me Nothing I Wanted
He Gave Me Everything I Needed
