By Swami Vivekananda



A- All the powers in the universe are already ours“All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before oureyes and cry that it is dark.”



B- Be Truthful

“Everything can be sacrificed for truth, but truth cannot be sacrificed for anything.”



C- Condemn none“Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold yourhands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way.”



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



E- Encourage every one in his struggle to live up to his idea“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.”



F- Friendship ends when you stop sharing"Life ends when U stop dreaming, Hope ends when U stop believing, Love ends when U stopcaring, Friendship ends when U stop sharing. So share all your feelings with whomever, youconsider a friend ..."



G- God is to be worshipped as the one beloved“GOD is to be worshipped as the one beloved, dearer than everything in this and next life.”



H- Have faith in yourselves“The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves!”



I- If you think about disaster, you will get it“If you think about disaster, you will get it. Brood about death and you hasten your demise.

Think positively and masterfully, with confidence and faith, and life becomes more secure,more fraught with action, richer in achievement and experience.”



J- Just as you breath to live“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 oflife, just as you breathe to live.”



K- Knowledge is inherent in man“The goal of mankind is knowledge ... Now this knowledge is inherent in man. No knowledge comesfrom outside: it is all inside. What we say a man 'knows', should, in strict psychological language, bewhat he 'discovers' or 'unveils'; what man 'learns' is really what he discovers by taking the cover offhis own soul, which is a mine of infinite knowledge.”



L- Love God, but do not ask anything in return“To worship God even for the sake of salvation or any other reward is equally degenerate.

Love knows no reward. Give your love unto to God, but do not ask anything in return evenfrom Him through pray.”



M- My nature is love him and therefore I love“MY nature is love Him. And therefore I love. I do not pray for any-thing. I do not ask foranything. Let Him place me wherever He likes. I must love Him for love’s sake. I cannottrade in love.”



N- Never think there is anything impossible for the soul

“Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin ? to say that you are weak, or others are weak.”



O- Only one religion

“BY the study of different RELIGIONS we find that in essence they are one.”

f th i d h ld b t t d



P- Powers of the mind should be concentrated“The powers of the mind should be concentrated and the mind turned back upon itself; asthe darkest places reveal their secrets before the penetrating rays of the sun, so will theconcentrated mind penetrate its own innermost secrets.”

Q Q ti lf if lfi h



Q- Question yourself if you are unselfish“Are you unselfish? That is the question. If you are, you will be perfect without readinga single religious book, without going into a single church or temple.”

R R l i l d f t & t



R- Real you is already perfect & strong“Impurity is a mere superimposition under which your real nature has becomehidden. But the real you is already perfect, already strong.”

S S thi b hi d th ill hi h i f



S- Something behind the will which is free“The will is not free - it is a phenomenon bound by cause and effect - but there issomething behind the will which is free.”

T T k id



T- Take up one idea“Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let thebrain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every otheridea alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual giants are produced.”

U U h ld Y Id l



U- 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.”

V V i t b k d d t d



V- Voice must be known and understood“As soon as you know the voice and understand what it is, the whole scene changes. The

same world which was the ghastly battlefield of maya is now changed into somethinggood and beautiful.”

W We have power to make ourselves



W- We have power to make ourselves“We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the powerto make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainlyfollows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so wehave to know how to act.”

X Examine yourself



X- Examine yourself“If you want to have life, you have to die every moment for it. Life and death are only differentexpressions of the same thing looked at from different standpoints; they are the falling and therising of the same wave, and the two form one whole. Examine yourself. Examine your motives.”

Y You have to grow from the inside out



Y- You have to grow from the inside out“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.”
