The main feature should be the teaching of principles through stories. Don't make it metaphysical at all.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Every human being has the right to ask the reason, why, and to have his question answered by himself, if he only takes the trouble.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The Hindus have cultivated the power of analysis and abstraction. No nation has yet produced a grammar like that of Panini.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Religion, in India, means realisation and nothing short of that.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Whatever you believe, that you will be. If you believe yourselves to be sages, sages you will be tomorrow. There is nothing to obstruct you.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Because the Soul is not made of matter, since it is spiritual, it cannot obey the laws of matter, it cannot be judged by the laws of matter.
Swami Vivekananda

To the person who desires nothing and does not get entangled in desires, the manifold changes of nature are one panorama of beauty and sublimity.
Swami Vivekananda

The calm man is not the man who is dull. You must not mistake Sattva for dullness or laziness. The calm man is the one who has control over the mind waves. Activity is the manifestation of inferior strength, calmness, of the superior.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Two attempts have been made in the world to found social life: the one was upon religion, and the other was upon social necessity. The one was founded upon spirituality, the other upon materialism the one upon transcendentalism, the other upon realism.
Swami Vivekananda

We have to keep the body in good health we have to take care of what we eat and drink, and what we do.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Man is the product of two forces, action and reaction, which make him think.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Life without death and happiness without misery are contradiction and neither can be found alone, because each of them is a different manifestation of the same thing.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Every work has got to pass through hundreds of difficulties before succeeding. Those that persevere will see the light, sooner or later.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Give me few men and women who are pure and selfless and I shall shake the world.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The one theme of the Vedanta philosophy is the search after unity. The Hindu mind does not care for the particular it is always after the general, nay, the universal. what is it that by knowing which everything else is to be known. That is the one search.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I have a message for the world, which I will deliver without fear and care for the future. To the reformers I will point out that I am a greater reformer than any one of them. They want to reform only little bits. I want root-and-branch reform.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The attempt is to kill the false I, so that the real I, the Lord, will reign. I the Lord thy God am a jealous God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me, say the Hebrew scriptures.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The finer is always the cause, the grosser the effect. So the external world is the effect, the internal the cause.
