10 Lessons by Swami Vivekananda- You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.
- Arise! Awake! and stop not until the goal is reached.
- You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
- In a conflict between the heart and the brain, follow your heart.
- They alone live, who live for others.
- Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.
- Comfort is no test of truth. Truth is often far from being comfortable.
- The fire that warms us can also consume us; it is not the fault of the fire.
- Ask nothing; want nothing in return. Give what you have to give; it will come back to you, but do not think of that now.
- Do one thing at a Time, and while doing it put your whole Soul into it to the exclusion of all else.
