Man begins to struggle and fight against nature. He makes many mistakes, he suffers. But eventually, he conquers nature and realizes his freedom. When he is free, nature becomes his slave.

QUOTES FROM SWAMI VIVEKANANDA 50
Unfortunately, in this life, the vast majority of persons are groping through this dark life without any ideal at all. If a man with an ideal makes a thousand mistakes, I am sure that the man without an ideal makes fifty thousand. Therefore, it is better to have an ideal.
QUOTES FROM SWAMI VIVEKANANDA 49
„Ours not to reason why, ours but to do and die.‟ Be of good cheer and believe that we are selected by the Lord to do great things, and we will do them.
QUOTES FROM SWAMI VIVEKANANDA 48
Make your own future. „Let the dead past bury its dead.‟ The infinite future is before you, and you must always remember that each word, thought and deed lays up a store for you, and that as the bad thoughts and bad works are ready to spring upon like tigers, so also there is the inspiring hope that the good thoughts and good deeds are ready with the power of hundred thousand angels to defend you always and for ever.
QUOTES FROM SWAMI VIVEKANANDA 47
Say, „This misery that I am suffering is of my own doing, and that very thing proves that it will have to be undone by me alone.‟ That which I created, I can demolish; that which is created by someone else, I shall never be able to destroy. Therefore, stand up, be bold, be strong. Take the whole responsibility on your own shoulders, and know that you are the creator of your own destiny. All the strength and succor you want is within yourselves.
QUOTES FROM SWAMI VIVEKANANDA 46
Men in general lay all the blame of life on their fellowmen, or, failing that, on God, or they conjure up a ghost, and say it is fate. Where is fate, and who is fate? We reap what we sow. We are the makers of our own fate. None else has the blame, none has the praise. The wind is blowing; and those vessels whose sails are unfurled catch it, and go forward on their way, but those which have their sails furled do not catch the wind. Is the fault of the wind?
QUOTES FROM SWAMI VIVEKANANDA 45
You have to grow from inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
