Guest guest Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Selected Sayings From Complete Works Of Swami Vivekananda Posted by: " bhakta_dhruva " They alone live who live for others, the rest are more dead than alive. Whatever you think, that you will be. If you think yourself weak, weak you will be, if you think yourself strong, strong you will be. Faith in God, Faith in ourselves, this is the secret of greatness. How can we see evil unless it is in us? Only those who want nothing are masters of Nature. You cannot believe in God, until you believe in yourself. Everything can be sacrificed for truth, but truch cannot be sacrificed for anything. Seek the science of the maker, and not that of the made. Work on with the intrepidity of a lion, but at the same time, with tenderness of love. Impure imagination is as bad as impure action. Truth must have no compromise. Thirst for name and fame is the worst filth. There is nothing holier in the world than to keep good company. What we want is neither happiness nor misery; If the mind is pleased with praise, it will be displeased with blame. To work you have the right, but not to the result. The greatest sin is to think yourself weak. Dare to come to Truth even through hell. What we call nature, fate, is simply God's Will. Choose the highest ideal and live your life up to that. The whole ocean is present at the back of each wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
