lesser truth to
higher truth.
Spiritual
knowledge is
the only thing
![Page 8: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
that can
destroy our
miseries
forever.

He who has
no faith in
himself can
never have
faith in God.
![Page 10: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

is the fountain
of all Bliss.
Sympathy for
the poor, the
downtrodden,

even unto
death—this is
our motto.
Great
convictions

mothers of
great deeds.

What India
wants is a
new electric
fire to stir up
a fresh vigour
in the national
veins.
![Page 15: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

as your own
existence.
It is fear that

cause of our
woes.
![Page 18: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What I want is
muscles of
iron and
nerves of
steel, inside
which dwells a
mind of the

same material
as that of
which the
thunderbolt is
made.
![Page 20: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Love is the
gate of all the
secrets of the
universe.

Unselfishness
is more
paying, only
people have
not the

patience to
practise.

Look not back,
no, not even if
you see the
dearest and
nearest cry.
![Page 24: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Look not back,
but forward.
Let us all work
hard, my
brethren, this

is no time for
sleep.
On our work
depends the
coming of the

India of the
future.
![Page 27: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
I do not care
of liberation, I
would rather
go to a
hundred
thousand
hells, “doing
good to others

(silently) like
the spring” –
this my
religion.
Shall India die?
Then from the
world all
spirituality will

be extinct; all
moral
perfection will
be extinct…
such a thing
can never be.
![Page 30: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Faith, faith,
faith in
ourselves,
faith, faith in
God—this is
the secret of
greatness.
![Page 31: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Doing good to
others is
virtue,
injuring others
is sin.
![Page 32: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Strength and
manliness are
virtues;
![Page 33: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
weakness and
cowardice are
sins.
![Page 34: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Independence
is virtue;
hating others
is sin.
![Page 35: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Faith in God
and in one’s
own self is
![Page 36: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
virtue; doubt
is sin.
![Page 37: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Knowledge of
oneness is
virtue;
seeking

diversity is
sin.
![Page 39: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Give me few
men and
women who
are pure and
selfless, and I

shall shake
the world.
![Page 41: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
He who loves
lives, he who
is selfish is
dying.
Therefore,
![Page 42: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
love for love’s
sake.
![Page 43: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Any
expansion is
life, all
contraction is
death.
![Page 44: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
He works best
who works
without any
motive.
![Page 45: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
I consider that
the great
national sin is
the neglect of
the masses
and that is
![Page 46: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
one of the
causes of our
downfall.
![Page 47: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
If you think
yourselves
weak, weak
you will be; if
you think
yourselves
![Page 48: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
strong, strong
you will be.
![Page 49: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
They alone
live who live
for others, the
rest are more
dead than
alive.
![Page 50: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Truth is
purity, Truth
is all
knowledge.
Truth must be
strengthening
, must be
enlightening,
![Page 51: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
must be
invigorating.
Save yourself
by yourself!
There is none
to help you—
![Page 52: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
never was, to
think that
there is, is a
sweet
delusion.
![Page 53: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Stand up, be
bold, be
strong. Take
the whole
responsibility
![Page 54: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
on your
shoulders.

All the
strength and
succour you
want is within
yourselves.
Therefore
![Page 56: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
make your
own future.

Service to
humanity is
the highest

form of
worship.

The goal of
mankind is
knowledge.

It is better, far
better to die
on the field of
duty,
preaching the
Truth, than to

worldly worm.

If there is sin,
this is the only
sin, to say
that you are
weak, or

others are
weak.

Work as if on
each of you
depended the
whole work.
![Page 65: GOLDEN WORDS- Swami Vivekanand](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5464a8a7af795974338b4a7f/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Duty is sweet
only through
love.

The Indian
nation can not
be killed, so

people do not

Space is in
the soul and
not the soul in
space.

Religion, in
