Inspiring Thoughts of

Swami Vivekananda on Education and Society ~ Part - 1

Real education is that which enables one to stand on his own legs.

Be Yourself
The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves!

Nothing Is Impossible
If there is sin, this is the only sin to say that you are weak, or others are weak.

Look at him!

Get inspired! He is looking at you!

It's easier to be ignorant and say that I don't know about the problem. But once you know, once you've seen it with your eyes, then you have a responsibility to do something.
There is strength in numbers, and if we all work together as a team, we can be unstoppable.
January 11, 2013

Together, we can make a substantial difference.

Physical health, and to some extent mental health too, can be improved by active participation in sports. Character, values, physical and mental strength are all challenged and improved in a short span of time. Sports can tell us a lot about ourselves as individuals and as a society.
January 11, 2013

23

January 11, 2013

Mental health, relatively speaking, is more important. It can be improved by developing positive attitude, engaging in healthy thinking, cultivating good habits, reading inspiring books, choosing good friends, and participating in good activities. Character, values, personality, attitudes, behaviour, etc. will all be improved.

24

Spiritual health, can be improved by practicing Human Values, such as, Love, Truth, Peace, Righteousness, Non-violence, etc.
January 11, 2013 25

Spiritual health, plays a significant role, in improving all-round health.


It can be improved by traditional methods, such as participating in religious activities.

Spirituality, is more abstract and to my mind, more important, in developing your spiritual health.
January 11, 2013 26

Improving simultaneously all aspects of health ~

Physical, Mental and Spiritual ~


will help an individual to become a constructive, contributing citizen.

With such citizens, the whole country will become more vibrant, productive, developing and progressing in all respects.
January 11, 2013 27

Now that you know something that will help you to

Improve yourself,
and simultaneously play your part in nation-building, activize yourself, energize yourself, sensitize yourself.

India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grandmother of tradition. Our most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India.

Your primary goal is to help create a community in which all the youth are healthy, educated, self-reliant and socially responsible.

to do something for others.

Today our country is facing many many challenges . . . such as . . .

Man made ? Or God made ?

A Healthy Nation is one which provides its youth with opportunities to acquire the talents, skills, and knowledge necessary to ensure their healthy transition to successful adult roles and responsibilities.
