Excerpts from Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda

The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda ~ Volume 5 ~ Epistles - First Series ~ LXI Dr. Nanjunda Rao

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 cause 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. Keep this letter and read the last lines whenever you feel worried or jealous. Jealousy is the bane of all slaves. It is the bane of our nation. Avoid that always.
