THOUGHT, THE PROPELLING FORCE

 

(By Swami Vivekananda)

 

 

 

It is the thought which is the propelling force in us. Fill the mind with the

highest thoughts, hear them day after day, think them month after month. Never

mind the failures; they are quite natural, they are the beauty of life, these

failures. What would be life without them? It would not be worth having if it

were not for struggles. Where would be the poetry of life? Never mind the

struggles, the mistakes. So never mind these failures, these little

backslidings; hold the ideal a thousand times, and if you fail a thousand times,

make the attempt once more. The ideal of man is to see God in everything. But if

you cannot see Him everything, see Him in one thing which you like the best, and

then see Him another. So on you can go. There is infinite life before the soul.

Take your time, and you will achieve your end. (2:152-53)

 

 

 

 

 

Few understand the power of thought. If a man goes into a cave, shuts himself

in, and thinks one really great thought and dies, that thoyght will penetrate

the walls of that cave, vibrate through space, and at last penetrate the human

race. Such is the power of thought; be in no hurry therefore to give your

thoughts to others. first have something to give. He alone teaches who has

something to give, for teaching is not talking, teaching is not imparting

doctrines, it is communicating. Spirituality can be communicated just as really

as I can give you a flower. This is the true in the most literal sense(4:177-78)
