Guest guest Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda No man can long occupy satisfactorily a position for which he is not fit. There is no use in grumbling against nature's adjustment. He who does the lower work is not therefore a lower man. No man is to be judged by the mere nature of his duties, but all should be judged by the manner and the spirit in which they perform them. (I. 66) By doing well the duty which is nearest to us, the duty which is in our hands now, we make ourselves stronger; and improving our strength in this manner step by step, we may even reach a state in which it shall be our privilege to do the most coveted and honored duties in life and in society. (V. 240) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
