- Each soul is potentially Divine. The goal is to manifest that Divinity within.
- Doing is very good, but that comes from thinking …. Fill the brain, therefore, with high thoughts, highest ideals, place them day and night before you, and out of that will come great work.
- One should try to acquire knowledge moment by moment and acquire wealth bit by bit. How (can one get) knowledge if a moment is lost (wasted)? How (can one get) wealth if the bit is lost (wasted)? – A Traditional saying [source – The Vedanta Kesari magazine. July 2008]

Sayings of Swami Vivekananda
Sayings of Swami Vivekananda
Teach yourselves, teach everyone his/her real nature, call upon the sleeping soul and see how it awakes. Power will come, glory will come, goodness will come, purity will come, and everything that is excellent will come, when this sleeping soul is roused to self-conscious activity - Swami Vivekananda
Swami Vivekananda as the spiritual guide encouraged and lifted the spirits of the Hindus when they felt pity of themselves, of their culture heritage and their religion. U can see in his writing only the courageous thoughts which religion can offer to the mankind. He is the modern Buddha who preached that religion is for the brave and religion makes the people brave. Nothing in this world can be achieved by fear and the fear is the cause root of all the problems man is facing today. And this fear in the mind is what the person character will be. He encouraged the people through religious preaching that we must be brave in all the situations and be proud of our religion and heritage which is par/greater than with all the civilizations of the world which existed. So, let us be face the realities of the life bravely and develop our character which is the most important for any person to succeed in the personal, professional and spiritual life.

Studying Religion
There are four things to study in a religion..
1. Its founder – whose life and character will be impressed on it
2. The religion – for the masses of the people
3. The philosophy – necessary for the learned and the cultured
4. The mysticism – expressing the universal yearning of the human spirit for union with its source
