By Vish Writer / Swami Vivekananda
Look back on yourselves from the state of the amoeba to the human being; who made all that? Your own will.Can you deny then that it is almighty? That which has made you come up so high can make you, I do higher still. What you want is character, strengthening of the will.
If there is one world that you find coming out like a bomb from the Upanishads, bursting like a bomb-shell upon masses of ignorance, it is the world, fearlessness. And the only religion that ought to be taught is the religion, it is true that fear is the sure cause of degradation and sin.It is fear that brings misery, fear that brings death, fear that breeds evil.
Make you nerves strong. What we want is muscles of iron and nerves of steel. We have wept long enough. No more weeping, but stand on your feel and be men.
First of all, our young men must be strong. Religion will come afterwards. Be strong, my young friends; that is my advice to you. You will be nearer to heaven though football than through the study of the Gita. These are bold words, but I have to say them, for I love you, I know where the shoe pinches. I have gained a little experience. You will understand the Gita better with your biceps, your muscles, a little stronger. You will understand the mighty genius and the mighty strength of Krishna better with a little of strong blood in you.You will understand the Upanishads better and the glory of the Atman when your body stands firm upon your feet, and you feel yourselves as men.
Men, men, these are wanted: everything else will be ready, but strong, vigorous, believing young men. Sincere to the backbone, are wanted. A hundred such and the world becomes revolutionized.
The will is stronger than any-thing else. Everything must go down before the will,for that comes from God and God Himself; a pure and a strong will is omnipotent. Do you not believe in it?
Yes, the older I grow, the more everything seems to me to lie is manliness. This is my new gospel. Do even evil like a man! Be wicked, if you must, on a great scale!
The history of the world is the history of a few men who had faith in themselves. That faith calls out the divinity within. You can do anything.
