On Swami Vivekananda Death Anniversary, let us remember some sayings of Swami Vivekananda.
- Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes
- 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
- All differences in this world are of degree, and not of a kind because oneness is the secret of everything
- 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
- Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life; dream of it; think of it; live on that idea. Let the brain, the body, 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, and this is the way great spiritual giants are produced
- On a day, when you don’t come across any problems – you can be sure that you are traveling on the wrong path
