in you. Believe in yourselves.

it over the length and breadth of India; and all that is

necessary will come by itself.13.Because your thirst for spirituality has not come,

therefore you are sitting idle.

death is nothing, hunger nothing, cold nothing. Glory unto

the Lord------------March on, the Lord is our general.

17. And--------We are responsible for what we are, and whatever wewish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are nowhas been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever

we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to

know how to act.

18. IndiaMan is first to be saved; he must be given food,

education, and spirituality.

19. India----Hear me, my friend, I have discovered the

secret through the grace of the Lord. Religion is not at

fault. On the other hand your religion teaches you thatevery being is only your own self-multiplied. But it was

the want of practical application, the want of

sympathy------------the want of heart. This state of things

must be removed, not by destroying religion but by

following the great teachings of the Hindu faith.

25. We get caught. How? Not by what we give but by what we expect. We getmisery in return for our love; not from the fact that we love, but from the fact thatwe want love in return. There is no misery where there is no want.

physical help only. Until mans nature changes, these

be felt, and no amount of physical help will cure them

completely. The only solutionof this problem is to make

mankind pure.Ignorance is the mother of all the evil

and all the misery we see.Let men have light, let thembe pure and spiritually strong and educated, then alone

will misery cease in the world, not before.

27. ideal---- The vast majority of persons are

groping through this dark life without any ideal

at all. If a man with an ideal makes a thousand

mistakes, I am sure that the man without an ideal

makes fifty thousand.To the vastmajority of mankind, the body is everything; the

body is all the universe to them; bodily

enjoyment is their all in all. This demon of the

worship of the body and of the things of the body

has entered into us all. We may indulge in tall

talk and take very high flights, but we are like

vultures all the same; our mind is directed to thepiece of carrion down below.

Fear--Fear is death, fear is sin, fear is hell, fear is

unrighteousness, fear is wrong life. All the

negative thoughts and ideas that are in the world

have proceeded from this evil spirit of fear.

Knowledge---First get rid of the delusion I am

the body, then only will we want real

knowledge.

And------Freedom can never be reached by the

weak. Throw away all weakness. Tell your body

that it is strong, tell your mind that it is strong,

and have unbounded faith and hope in yourself.

Work-If you are poor, work. If you are rich,

work. If you are burdened with un-seeminglyunfair responsibilities, work. If disappointments

come, work. If sorrow overwhelms you and

loved ones seem not true, work. If health is

threatened, work. When dreams are shattered and

hope seems dead, work. Work as if your life is in

peril. Its really is. No matter what ails you, work.

Work faithfully. Work in faith. Work is the great

remedy available for both mental and physical

afflictions.

Nivedita faithThe ultimate fact in the world

is man, not power: the ultimate fact in man is

God. Therefore let all men believe in themselves.

To all men let us say---------------be strong. Quitye like men. Work out that which worketh in

you. Believe in yourselves.

Thinking----Bless people when the revile you.

Think how much good they are doing by helping

to stamp out the false ego. Hold fast to the

Atman, think only pure thoughts, and you will

accomplish more than a regiment of merepreachers.

Edu-----Learn with all devotion.

Medita-------Work a little harder at meditation

and it comes. You do not feel the body or

8/14/2019 Viv Words

5/5

anything else. When you come out of it after the

hour, you have had the most beautiful rest you

ever had in your life. That is the only way you

ever give rest to your system. Love---We will illustrate love by a triangle, of which the first angle at the base

is fearlessness. So long as there is fear, it is not love. Love banishes all fear. Amother with her baby will face a tiger to save her child. The second angle is that

love never asks, never begs. The third or the apex is that love loves for the sake of

love itself. Even the idea of object vanishes. Love is the only form in which love

is loved. This is the highest abstraction and the same as the Absolute.

Evil-The root of evil is in the illusion that we are bodies. This, if any, is the

original sin.
