10 laws of life by Swami Vivekananda

 

1. Love Is The Law Of Life:

All love is expansion, all selfishness is

contraction. Love is therefore the only law of life. He who loves

lives, he who is selfish is dying. Therefore, love for love's sake,

because it is law of life, just as you breathe to live.

 

2. It's Your Outlook That Matters:

It is our own mental attitude,

which makes the world what it is for us. Our thoughts make things

beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our

own minds. Learn to see things in the proper light.

 

3. Life is Beautiful:

First, believe in this world - that there is

meaning behind everything. Everything in the world is good, is holy

and beautiful. If you see something evil, think that you do not

understand it in the right light. Throw the burden on yourselves!

 

4. It's The Way You Feel:

Feel like Christ and you will be a Christ;

feel like Buddha and you will be a Buddha. It is feeling that is the

life, the strength, and the vitality, without which no amount of

intellectual activity can reach God.

 

5. Set Yourself Free:

The moment I have realized God sitting in the

temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before

every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from

bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.

 

6. Don't Play The Blame Game:

Condemn none: if you can stretch out a

helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your

brothers, and let them go their own way.

 

7. Help Others:

If money helps a man to do well to others, it is of

some value; but if not, it is simply a mass of evil, and the sooner it

is got rid of, the better.

 

8. Uphold Your Ideals:

Our duty is to encourage every one in his

struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same

time to make the ideal as near as possible to the Truth.

 

9. Listen To Your Soul:

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.

 

10. Be Yourself.

 

Love and Love alone....
