In Honor of the Great Yogi Swami Vivekananda I shall here reproduce, in my eyes his most important work, with comments from me along the way. Herein lies the key to True Strength, Immortality and Manhood, regardless of which age we are living in.
Stop becoming weak
Strength, strength, it is what we want so much in this life, for what we call sin and sorrow have all one cause and that is our weakness. With weakness comes ignorance and with ignorance comes misery.
Never be weak, You must be strong, you have infinite strength within you.
Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin- to say that you are weak.
Comment:
Within these first verses of the Gospel he sums up everything that is needed to reach Manhood in this life, and Immortality in the next. It is simply Strenght, in every way you can imagine and not imagine; Strength in Body, in Mind and Soul- that is the Key, in this age, as it has been in every age.
The only Saint is that Soul that never weakens and faces everything.
All weakness, all bondage is imagination… Do not weaken!… Stand up and be strong! That is all the religion I know.
Know that all sins and all evils can be summed up in that one word, weakness. It is weakness that is the motive power in all evil doings; it is weakness that is the source of all selfishness; it is weakness that makes men injure others; it is weakness that makes them manifest what they are not in reality.
Comment:
“The ONLY Saint is that Soul that never weakens and faces everything.”- There can be no salvation when the Soul is weak. Also he points to weakness as the root cause of all evil in the world. Strong Men are not evil, it is only when they succumb to weakness that evil is born.
The weak have no place here, in this life or in any other life. Weakness leads to slavery. Weakness leads to all kinds of misery, physical and mental. Weakness is death. There are hundreds of thousands of microbes surrounding us, but they cannot harm us unless we become weak, until the body is ready and predisposed to receive them. There may be a million microbes of misery floating about us. Never mind! They dare not approach us, they have no power to get a hold on us, until the mind is weakened.
This is the great fact; Strength is Life, weakness is death. Strength is Felicity, Life eternal, Immortal, weakness is constant strain and misery; weakness is death.
You must retain great strength in your mind and words “ I am low, I am low” – repeating these ideas in the mind, man belittles and degrades himself.
Comment:
Weakness is the death of not only the Soul, but the body as well. Sickness and misery cannot overtake us if we are strong in our bodies and mind. It is only when the mind is weakened that the body becomes open for attack; either by the viruses and microbes constantly surrounding us; or by enemies in human form. No one will even think of attacking a man whose Strength emits from every pore of his body.
Sin may be said to be the feeling of every kind of weakness. From this weakness spring jealousy, malice and so forth. Hence weakness is sin.
What we want is strength, so believe in yourselves… Make your nerves strong. What we want is muscles of iron and nerves of steel. We have wept enough. No more weeping, but stand on your own feet and be Men.
What is sin and what is misery, and what are all these, but the results of weakness? Men are taught from childhood that they are sinners and weak. Teach them that they are all glorious children of Immortality, even those who are the weakest in manifestation. Let positive, strong, helpful thoughts enter into their brains from the very childhood. Lay yourselves open to these thoughts, and not to weakening and paralyzing ones.
End comment of the first chapter of this holy book:
If proper thought control and positivity was to be induced in every human from a very early age, we would not see such a weakened and decayed society that we see today. Weakness in every form is now encouraged, even promoted as good and normal. From this is born only misery and slavery- Not Glory and Immortality, which should be the Ultimate Aim of every Man.
In order to be Strong we must first strengthen the body, and there is no better way than physical training, which you may participate in right here
