Swami Vivekananda - Never Think You Are Powerless Or Helpless

Once a man approached Swami Vivekananda and pleaded his helplessness. Swami Ji listened to him carefully and then thundered- "What nonsense are you talking? Within you lies indomitable power.If you think, you are powerless, you will become powerless, on other hand if you think you are powerful, you will be so. No one can help you unless you try to help yourself."

There is another saying of Swami Vivekananda- “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, or others are weak.”

Power- Energy= Shakti -that should be our weapon- we can do everything. We are children of immortality (Amritsahya Putra). So, as Swami Ji warned we should never think, we are powerless or helpless, as “We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.”

So, let's try to "Arise, awake and stop not till the goal is reached" 

Jai Swami Vivekananda.
