Some not-so-random quotes by Swami Vivekananda...

This is a post rescued from my old blog...with inputs from my inbox... :p
it only reminds what many of us know, some of us believe , but more often than not, i keep forgetting... :)

"The Vedanta recognizes no sin it only recognizes error. And the greatest error, says the Vedanta is to say that you are weak, that you are a sinner, a miserable creature, and that you have no power and you cannot do this and that."

"We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has 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."

"Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual giants are produced."

"We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far."

"You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself."

"The first sign of your becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful"
