Vivekananda

Thoughts To Inspire & Celebrate

Desire, ignorance and inequality - this is the trinity of bondage.

Whatever you do, devote your whole mind, heart and soul to it.

The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles,nerves, and every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. this is the way to success...If we really want to be blessed, and make others blessed, we must go deeper.

You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher than your own soul.

I have no desire for wealth or name or fame or enjoyments, they are dust unto me...I want to help my brethren.

Character has to be established through a thousand stumbles.

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.

If you have assimilated five ideas and made them your life and character, you have more education than any man who has got by heart a whole library.
