A Tribute to Swami Vivekanada
May 23rd, 2008 by alitzSungguh beruntung mengenal suatu pribadi yang sangat menginspirasi “Swami
Vivekanada” salah satu tokoh Reformis Hindu Modern.
Beliau dikenal diseluruh dunia karena pengetahuannya yang luas
tentang budaya timur dan barat, spiritualitas,pribadinya yang
hangat dan ajaran cinta kasih dan kemanusiaannya.
Beberapa kutipannya yang menginspirasi penulis yang selalu memberikan
motivasi dan semangat bahwa kita harus percaya pada kekuatan kita sendiri dan kita sendirilah yang menentukan takdir kita.
“You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself"
"The past was great no doubt, but I sincerely believe that the
future will be more glorious still"
"The greatest sin is to think that you are weak. No one is
greater: realize that you are Brahman. Nothing has power except what you give
it"
"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. Therefore, make your own
future."
“To be good and to do good - that is the whole of religion”
“Strength is life, Weakness is death “
“He is an atheist who does not believe in himself. The old religion said
that he was an atheist who does not believe in God. The new religion says that
he is an atheist who does not believe in himself”
