Below is from 'VIVEKANANDA SPEAKS TO YOU'. Hope you will enjoy reading this...
One of the greatest lessons I have learned in my life is to pay as much attention to the means of work as t its end. All the secret of success is there: to pay as much attention to the means as to the end.
The weak have no place here, in this life or in any other life. Weakness leads to slavery. Weakness leads to all kinds of misery physical and mental. Weakness is death.
This is the great fact: strength is life; weakness is death. Strength is felicity, life eternal, immortal.
Therefore I say, we require super-divine power. super-human power is not strong enough. Super divine strength is the only way, the one way out.
We only get what we deserve.
Man is an infinite circle whose circumference is nowhere, but the centre is located on one spot, and God is an infinite circle whose circumference is nowhere, but whose centre is everywhere.
A man can be of gigantic intellect, yet spiritually he may be a baby.
Religion is not in doctrines,in dogmas, not in intellectual argumentation, it is in being and becoming; it is realization.
The wicked see this world as a perfect hell, and the good as a perfect heaven. Lovers see this world as full of love, and haters as full of hatred. Fighters see nothing but strife, and the peaceful nothing but peace. The perfect man sees nothing but God....
