The moment you fear, you are nobody.

It is fear that is the great cause of misery


in the world. It is fear that is the greatest of all superstitions. It is fear that is the
greatest of all superstitions. It is the fear that is the cause of our woes, and it is
fearlessness that brings heaven even in a moment. Therefore 'Arise, awake, and stop
not till the goal is reached.'
Be cheerful. . . . Hold on to your own ideal. . . . Above all, never attempt to
guide or rule others, or, as the Yankees say, "boss" others. Be the servant of all.

Be perfectly resigned, perfectly unconcerned; then alone can you do any true
work. No eyes can see the real forces; we can only see the results. Put out self, forget
it; just let God work, it is His business.
Each work has to pass through these stagesridicule, opposition, and then
acceptance. Those who think ahead of their time are sure to be misunderstood.
Go on bravely. Do not expect success in a day or a year. Always hold on to the
highest. Be steady. Avoid jealousy and selfishness. Be obedient and eternally faithful
to the causes of truth, humanity, and your country, and you will move the world.
Remember it is the person, the life, which is the secret of power nothing else.
Every successful man must have behind him somewhere tremendous integrity,
tremendous sincerity, and that is the cause of his signal success in life. He may not
have been perfectly unselfish; yet he was tending towards it. If he had been perfectly
unselfish, his would have been as great a success as that of the Buddha or of the Christ.
The degree of unselfishness marks the degree of success everywhere.

Go on bravely never mind about designs and other details at present
"With the horse will come the reins". Work unto death I am with you, and when I
am gone, my spirit will work with you. This life comes and goes wealth, fame,
enjoyments are only of a few days. It is better, far better to die on the field of duty,
preaching the truth, than to die like a worldly worm. Advance!

Let people say whatever they like, stick to your own convictions, and rest
assured, the world will be at your feet. They say, "Have faith in this fellow or that
fellow", but I say, "Have faith in yourself first", that's the way. Have faith in
yourselfall power is in yoube conscious and bring it out. Say, "I can do
everything."

Every work has got to pass through hundreds of difficulties before succeeding.
Those that persevere will see the light, sooner or later.

Neither numbers nor powers nor wealth nor learning nor anything else will
prevail, but purity, living the lief, in one word, anubhuti, realization. Let there be a
dozen such lion-souls in each country, lions who have broken their own bonds, who
have touched the infinite, whose whole soul is gone to Brahman, who care neither for
wealth nor power nor fame, and these will be enough to shake the world.
