 Swami Vivekananda Says - 

1.    “Seek for the highest, aim at that highest and you shall reach the highest”. – Swami Vivekananda

(LSV P – 133)

2.   “Do not mind what I write in some moments of nervousness”. – Swami Vivekananda (LSV P – 133)

3.   “If here is glory in keeping the machine in good trim, it is more glorious to withhold the soul from suffering with the body – that is the only demonstration of your being “not matter”, by letting the matter alone.” – Swami Vivekananda (LSV P – 132)

4.   “ You will have to take the charge of the whole movement, not as a leader, but as a servant. Do you know, the least show of leading destroys everything by rousing jealousy.” – Swami Vivekananda (LSV P – 134)

5.   “So work my boys, work! The rough part of the work has been smoothened and rounded, now it will roll on better and better every year”. – Swami Vivekananda (LSV P – 135)

6.    “Not only India, but the world outside is expecting great things of us. – Swami Vivekananda (LSV P – 136)

7.    “ Are you sincere? Unselfish even unto death, and loving? Then fear not, not even death. Onward, my lads! The whole world requires Light. It is expectant! India alone has that Light, not in magic mummeries, and charlatanism, but in the reaching of the glories of the spirit of real religion – of the highest spiritual truth. That is why the Lord has preserved the race through all its vicissitudes unto the present day. Now the time has come. Have faith that you are all my brave lads, born to do great things! Let not the barks of puppies frighten you – no, not even the thunderbolts of heaven – but stand up and work!” – Swami Vivekananda (LSV P – 136)
