Swami Vivekananda Birthday 12th Jan 2012

Today we are celebrating World's One of the Great Philosopher and Guru Swami Vivekananda Birthday and National Youth Day.

• The brave alone do great things, not the cowards. Know once for all, you faithless ones, that I am in the hands of the Lord. So long as I am pure and His servant, not a hair on my head will be touched ... Be brave, be brave! Human beings die but once. My disciples must not be cowards.

• Liberation means total freedom--freedom from the bondage of good, as well as from the bondage of evil. A golden chain is as much a chain as an iron one.

• We have been low animals once.
  We think they are something different from us. ...
  The worm that crawls under your feet today is a God to be.

• Look here—we shall die! Bear this in mind always, and then the spirit within will wake up. Then meanness will vanish from you, practicality in work will come, you will get new vigor in mind and body, and those who come in contact with you will also feel that they have really got something uplifting from you.

• Preach the philosophy, the spiritual part, and let people suit it to their own forms.

• The calmer we are and the less disturbed our nerves, the more shall we love and the better will our work be.

• External nature is only internal nature writ large.

            - Swami Vivekananda.
