My Inspiration : Swami Vivekananda
All power is within you; you can do anything and everything. Believe in that, do not believe that you are weak; do not believe that you are half-crazy lunatics, as most of us do nowadays. You can do anything and everything, without even the guidance of any one. Stand up and express the divinity within you. - Swami Vivekananda
From my early days of life, the one name, always put into my ears by my father was of Swami Vivekananda. My father used to say about him how he stood on the stage of the world of Religious Parliament in 1893 and single-handedly glorified the name of India to the world.
My inspiration has he been not only because of his words but also the hardworks he put to get to that position with power- the power of the mind which he gained from the Vedas, Upanishads, the Gita and from the hidden secrets of this world.
It was the story of those time when he landed in America to participate in the Parliament of Religions. He didn't get any shelter to spend the night because he was a native Indian- kala aadmi. There were wooden boxes, made for shipments. He went inside it and slept there! This not only inspired me to think "hardwork is the key to success" but also made me know that all great persons did so many sacrifices of their comforts to purify the nation and to make them see what Karma truly is.
In the words of Ramakrishna Paramhansa, Vivekananda was born as Vivekananda, not made in this world.
