SRIMAD BHAGAVAD-GITA
CHAPTER ONE
Sanskrit:
Asmakam tu visista ye tannibodha dvijottama
nayaka mama sainyasya sanjnartham tanbravimi te
English:
O best of Brahmanas , know them also who are the principal warriors on our side-the generals of my army . For your information. Ishall mention them.
SWAMI VIVEKANANDA
FAITH AND STRENGTH
Faith, faith, faith in ourselves, faith, faith in God-this is the secret of greatness. If you have faith in all the three hundred and thirty millions of your mythological gods, and in all the gods which foreigners have now and again introduced into your midst, and still have no faith in yourselves, there is no salvation for you.
FANATICISM IS ANOTHER NAME FOR
IGNORANCE
A FROG lived in a well. It had lived there for a
long time. It was born and brought up there. And
it was a small little frog. One day another frog that
had lived in the sea came and fell into that well.
The frog of the well asked the new-comer,
"Whence are you?" The frog of the sea replied, "I
am from the sea." The frog of the well questioned:
"The sea! How big is that?" The frog of the sea
said, "It is very big." The frog of the well stretched
its legs and questioned, "Ah! Is your sea so big?"
The frog of the sea said, "It is much bigger." The
frog of the well then took a leap from one side of
the well to the other, and asked, "Is it as big as this,
my well?" "My friend”, said the frog of the sea,
"how can you compare the sea with your well?"
The frog of the well asserted: "No, there can never
be anything bigger than my well. Indeed, nothing
can be bigger than this! This fellow is a liar, he
must be turned out."
Such is the case with every narrow-minded man.
Sitting in his own little well, he thinks that the
whole world is no bigger than his well.
