“In a day, when you don’t come across
any problems, you can be sure that you are traveling in a wrong path.”

Swami Vivekananda’s inspiring personality
was well known both in India and in
America during the last decade of the
nineteenth century and the first decade of
the twentieth. The unknown monk of India
suddenly leapt into fame at the Parliament
of Religions held in Chicago in 1893, at
which he represented Hinduism. His vast
knowledge of Eastern and Western culture
as well as his deep spiritual insight, fervid
eloquence, brilliant conversation, broad
human sympathy, colorful personality,
and handsome figure made an irresistible
appeal to the many types of Americans
who came in contact with him. People
who saw or heard Vivekananda even
once still cherish his memory after a lapse of more than half a century.

Swami Vivekananda once spoke of himself as a "condensed India." His life and teachings
are of inestimable value to the West for an understanding of the mind of Asia. William
James, the Harvard philosopher, called the Swami the "paragon of Vedantists.” Here are his 15 irrefutable laws of life that will guide you to live your life to the fullest :

Law # 1 : Love Is The Law Of LifeAll love is expansion, all selfishness is contraction. Love is therefore the only law of life. He
who loves lives, he who is selfish is dying. Therefore, love for love's sake, because it is law
of life, just as you breathe to live.

Law # 2 : It's Your Outlook That MattersIt is our own mental attitude, which makes the world what it is for us. Our thoughts make
things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn
to see things in the proper light.
![Page 7: Swami Vivekananda](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a524981a28abd40e8b4594/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Lesson # 3 : Life is BeautifulFirst, believe in this world - that there is meaning behind everything. Everything in the world
is good, is holy and beautiful. If you see something evil, think that you do not understand it
in the right light. Throw the burden on yourselves!
![Page 8: Swami Vivekananda](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a524981a28abd40e8b4594/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Law # 4 : It's The Way You FeelFeel like Christ and you will be a Christ; feel like Buddha and you will be a Buddha. It is
feeling that is the life, the strength, the vitality, without which no amount of intellectual
activity can reach God.
![Page 9: Swami Vivekananda](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a524981a28abd40e8b4594/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Law # 5 : Set Yourself FreeThe moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I
stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free
from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.

Law # 6 : Don't Play The Blame GameCondemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way.
![Page 11: Swami Vivekananda](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a524981a28abd40e8b4594/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Law # 7 : Help OthersIf money helps a man to do good to others, it is of some value; but if not, it is simply a mass of evil, and the sooner it is got rid of, the better.
![Page 12: Swami Vivekananda](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a524981a28abd40e8b4594/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Law # 8 : Uphold Your IdealsOur duty is to encourage every one in his struggle to live up to his own highest idea,
and strive at the same time to make the ideal as near as possible to the Truth.
![Page 13: Swami Vivekananda](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a524981a28abd40e8b4594/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Law # 9 : Listen To Your SoulYou have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual.
There is no other teacher but your own soul.
![Page 14: Swami Vivekananda](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a524981a28abd40e8b4594/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Law # 10 : Be YourselfThe greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves!
![Page 15: Swami Vivekananda](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a524981a28abd40e8b4594/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Law # 11 : Nothing Is ImpossibleNever 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.
![Page 16: Swami Vivekananda](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a524981a28abd40e8b4594/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Law # 12 : You Have The PowerAll the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our
eyes and cry that it is dark.
![Page 17: Swami Vivekananda](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a524981a28abd40e8b4594/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Law # 13 : Learn EverydayThe goal of mankind is knowledge... now this knowledge is inherent in man. No knowledge comes from outside: it is all inside. What we say a man 'knows', should, in strict psychological language, be what he 'discovers' or 'unveils'; what man 'learns' is really what he discovers by taking the cover off his own soul, which is a mine of infinite knowledge.
![Page 18: Swami Vivekananda](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a524981a28abd40e8b4594/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Law # 14 : Be Truthful
Everything can be sacrificed for truth, but truth cannot be sacrificed for anything.
![Page 19: Swami Vivekananda](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a524981a28abd40e8b4594/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Law # 15 : Think DifferentAll differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of
everything.
![Page 20: Swami Vivekananda](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a524981a28abd40e8b4594/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
"His words are great music, phrases in the
style of Beethoven, stirring rhythms like the
march of Handel choruses. I cannot touch
these sayings of his, scattered as they are
through the pages of books, at thirty years'
distance, without receiving a thrill through
my body like an electric shock. And what
shocks, what transports, must have been
produced when in burning words they
issued from the lips of the hero!” – Romain Rolland

"Life ends when U stop dreaming, Hope ends when U stop believing,
Love ends when U stop caring, Friendship ends when U stop sharing. So share all your feelings with whomever, you consider a friend ..."
