First. believe in the world—that there is intending behind everything.
Don’t expression back—forward. infinite energy. infinite enthusiasm. infinite dare. and infinite patience—then entirely can great workss be accomplished.

This I have seen in life—those who are overcautious about themselves fall into dangers at every measure ; those who are afraid of losing award and regard. acquire lone shame ; and those who are ever afraid of loss. ever lose.
“Face the beasts. ” That is a lesson for all life—face the awful. face it boldly. Like the monkeys. the adversity of life autumn back when we cease to fly before them.
Those who work at a thing bosom and psyche non merely accomplish success in it but through their soaking up in that they besides realize the supreme truth—Brahman. Those who work at a thing with their whole bosom receive aid from God.
I. for one. exhaustively believe that no power in the existence can keep back from anyone anything they truly deserve.
The whole secret of being is to hold no fright. Never fear what will go of you. depend on no 1. Merely the minute you reject all aid are you free.
Fear is decease. fright is sin. fright is hell. fright is unrighteousness. fright is incorrect life. All the negative ideas and thoughts that are in the universe have proceeded from this evil spirit of fright.
Why are people so afraid? The reply is that they have made themselves incapacitated and dependent on others. We are so lazy. we do non desire to make anything ourselves. We want a Personal God. a Savior or a Prophet to make everything for us.
Equally long as we believe ourselves to be even the least different from God. fright remains with us ; but when we know ourselves to be the One. fright goes ; of what can we be afraid?
There is one thing to be remembered: that the assertion—I am God— can non be made with respect to the sense-world.
All that is existent in me is God ; all that is existent in God is I. The gulf between God and me is therefore bridged. Therefore by cognizing God. we find that the land of Eden is within us.

Fill the encephalon with high ideas. highest ideals. put them twenty-four hours and dark before you. and out of that will come great work.
Who makes us ignorant? We ourselves. We put our custodies over our eyes and weep that it is dark.
Desire. ignorance. and inequality—this is the three of bondage.
We must hold friendly relationship for all ; we must be merciful toward those that are in wretchedness ; when people are happy. we ought to be happy ; and to the wicked we must be apathetic. These attitudes will do the head peaceful.
Every action that helps us manifest our godly nature more and more is good ; every action that idiots it is evil.
We reap what we sow. We are the shapers of our ain destiny. None else has the
incrimination. none has the congratulations.
Are great things of all time done swimmingly? Time. forbearance. and never-say-die will must demo.
Great work requires great and relentless attempt for a long clip. … Character has to be established through a 1000 lurchs.
Even the greatest sap can carry through a undertaking if it were after his or her bosom. But the intelligent 1s are those who can change over every work into one that suits their gustatory sensation.
Those who grumble at the small thing that has fallen to their batch to make will grouch at everything. Always grouching they will take a suffering life… . But those who do their responsibility seting their shoulder to the wheel will see the visible radiation. and higher and higher responsibilities will fall to their portion.
Learning and wisdom are overpluss. the surface glister simply. but it is the bosom that is the place of all power.
Each work has to go through through these stages—ridicule. resistance. and so credence. Those who think in front of their clip are certain to be misunderstood.
Watch people do their most common actions ; these are so the things that will state you the existent character of a great individual.
“Comfort” is no trial of truth ; on the contrary. truth is frequently far from being “comfortable” .
Whenever we attain a higher vision. the lower vision disappears of itself.

We are of all time free if we would merely believe it. merely have faith plenty. You are the psyche. free and ageless. of all time free. of all time blessed. Have faith adequate and you will be free in a minute.
A few wholehearted. sincere. and energetic work forces and adult females can make more in a twelvemonth than a rabble in a century.
Stand as a stone ; you are indestructible. You are the Self ( atman ) . the God of the existence.
Stand upon the Self. merely so can we genuinely love the universe. Take a really high base ; cognizing our cosmopolitan nature. we must look with perfect composure upon
all the view of the universe.
“I am the yarn that runs through all these pearls. ” and each pearl is a faith or even a sect thereof. Such are the different pearls. and God is the yarn that runs through all of them ; most people. nevertheless. are wholly unconscious of it.
Stand up. be bold. be strong. Take the whole duty on your ain shoulders. and know that you are the Godhead of your ain fate. All the strength and relief you want is withinyourselves. Therefore. do your ain hereafter.

Be a hero. Always say. “I have no fright. ” Tell this to everyone—“Have no fright. ”
The universe is ready to give up its secrets if we merely cognize how to strike hard. how to give it the necessary blow. The strength and force of the blow come through concentration.
Work and worship are necessary to take away the head covering. to raise off the bondage and semblance.
The powers of the head should be concentrated and the head turned back upon itself ; as the darkest topographic points reveal their secrets before the penetrating beams of the Sun. so will the concentrated head perforate its ain innermost secrets.
It is the cheerful head that is persisting. It is the strong head that hews its manner through a 1000 troubles.
The head is but the elusive portion of the organic structure. You must retain great strength in your head and words.
All cognition that the universe has of all time received comes from the head ; the infinite library of the existence is in our ain head.
Knowledge can merely be got in one manner. the manner of experience ; there is no
other manner to cognize.
However we may have blows. and nevertheless knocked about we may be. the Soul is at that place and is ne’er injured. We are that Infinite.
Perfection is ever infinite. We are the Infinite already. You and I. and all existences. are seeking to attest that eternity.
Blows are what awaken us and assist to interrupt the dream. They show us the inadequacy of this universe and do us long to get away. to hold freedom.
So long as there is desire or want. it is a certain mark that there is imperfectness. A perfect. free being can non hold any desire.

The Self when it appears behind the existence is called God. The same Self when it appears behind this small universe—the body—is the psyche.
As organic structure. head. or psyche. you are a dream ; you truly are Bing. Consciousness. Bliss ( satchidananda ) . You are the God of this existence.
The kernel of Vedanta is that there is but one Being and that every psyche is that Bing in full. non a portion of that Being.
Equally shortly as I think that I am a small organic structure. I want to continue it. to protect it. to maintain it nice. at the disbursal of other organic structures ; so you and I become separate.

Astrology and all these mystical things are by and large marks of a weak head ; therefore every bit shortly as they are going prominent in our heads. we should see

Nature. organic structure. head go to decease. non we. We neither go nor come. The adult male Vivekananda is in nature. is born and dies ; but the Self we see as Vivekananda is ne’er born and ne’er dies. It is the ageless and unchangeable World.
