SWAMI VIVEKANANDA'S EDUCATION FOR CHARACTER
SELF-CONFIDENCE:-
- He is an atheist who does not believe in himself. The old religions said that he was an atheist who did not believe in God. The new religion says that he is the atheist who does not believe in himself.
- The ideal of faith in ourselves is of the greatest help to us.
- Faith, faith , faith in ourselves, faith, faith in God- this is the secret of greatness. If you have faith in all the three hundred and thirty millions of your mythological gods, and in all the Gods which foreigners have now and again introduced into your midst, and still have no faith in ourselves, there is no salvation for you.
- " The older i grow the more everything seems to me to lie in manliness. This is my new gospel."
- What makes the difference between man and man is the difference is this Shraddha and nothing else. What makes one man great and another weak and low is this Shraddha.
- You have in you a thousand times more than is in all the books. Never lose faith in yourself, you can do anything in this universe. Never weaken , all power is yours.
- You must not say that you are weak. How do you know what possibilities lie behind that degradation on the surface? You know but little of that which is within you. For behind you is the ocean of infinite power and blessedness.
- To succeed, you must have tremendous perseverance, tremendous will. " I will drink the ocean," says the persevering soul, "at my will mountains will crumble up." Have that sort of energy, that sort of will, work hard and you will reach the goal.
