Man makes the mistake of separating himself from God and identifying himself with the body.

Swami Vivekananda

Have faith in yourself. You people were once the Vedic Rishis. Only, you have come in different forms, that’s all. I see it clear as daylight that you all have infinite power in you. Rouse that up; arise, arise – apply yourselves heart and soul, gird up your loins.

The man who becomes angry never does a great amount of work, and the man whom nothing can make angry accomplishes so much.

He who is alone is happy. Do good to all, like everyone, but do not love anyone. It is a bondage, and bondage brings only misery. Live alone in your mind – that is happiness. To have nobody to care for and never minding who cares for one is the way to be free.

When a man is perfect, he sees perfection in others. When he sees imperfection, it is his own mind projecting itself.
SWAMI VIVEKANANDA

Ignorance Men Mindset Perfection
Perfect life is a contradiction in terms. Therefore we must always expect to find things not up to our highest ideal. Knowing this, we are bound to make the best of everything.
SWAMI VIVEKANANDA

Expectation Knowing Life Perfect
None of us have yet seen an ideally perfect man, and yet without that ideal we cannot progress.

The Hindus have to learn a little bit of materialism from the West and teach them a little bit of spirituality.
SWAMI VIVEKANANDA

Learning Spirituality Teaching
Never talk about the faults of others, no matter how bad they may be. Nothing is ever gained by that. You never help one by talking about his fault; you do him an injury, and injure yourself as well.

We, we, and none else, are responsible for what we suffer. We are the effects, and we are the causes.

Blame nobody else, do not commit the mistake of the ignorant.

Blame Commitment Ignorance Mistake
Learn to feel yourself in other bodies, to know that we are all one. Throw all other nonsense to the winds. Spit out your actions, good or bad, and never think of them again. What is done is done. Throw off superstition. Have no weakness even in the face of death. Be free.

Be an atheist if you want, but do not believe in anything unquestioningly.

We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.
SWAMI VIVEKANANDA

Ourselves Positive Power Thinking
Religion is realization; not talk, nor doctrine, nor theories however beautiful they may be. It is being and becoming, not hearing, or acknowledging; it is the whole soul becoming what it believes.
