The Gospel of Strength

The only saint is that soul that never weakens and faces everything.

        All weakness, all bondage is imagination... Do not weaken!... Stand
up and be strong! That is all the religion I know.

        Know that all sins and all evils can be summed up in that one word,
weakness. It is weakness that is the motive power in all evil-doing;
it is weakness that is the source of all selfishness; it is weakness
that makes men injure others; it is weakness that makes them manifest
what they are not in reality.

The Gospel of Strength - Stop Becoming Weak! - Swami Vivekananda

Stop Becoming Weak!
Strength, strength, it is that we want so much in this life, for what
we call sin and sorrow have all one cause, and that is our weakness.
With weakness comes ignorance, and with ignorance comes misery.
Never be weak. You must be strong; you have infinite strength within
you.

Never 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.

The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna P.863

Those actually engaged in a game of chess do not always judge the
moves on the board correctly. The onlookers often judge the moves
better than the players. Worldly people often think themselves very
intelligent, but they are attached to the things of the world. They
are the actual players and cannot understand their own moves
correctly. But holy men, who have renounced everything, are unattached
to the world; they are really more intelligent than worldly people.
Since they do not take any part in worldly life, their position is
that of onlookers, and so they see things more clearly.

Edgar Cayce Reading 3357-1

(Q) What is God's plan for me in assisting the furtherance of His
kingdom here on this planet, so that I may accomplish the greatest
good with whatever talents I may possess?
(A) Brighten the corner where thou art from day to day. Let not a day
go by without speaking to someone with the smile of the face and eye
reminding them that somebody cares, and it is Jesus!

Edgar Cayce Reading 1971-1

For the material, at best, is only temporal, or temporary, while that
which may be builded from spiritual desire, spiritual purposes, is
eternal.

Edgar Cayce Reading 1968-5

If the problems of the experience today, now, are taken as an
expectancy for the unusual and that which is to be creative and
hopeful and helpful, life becomes rather the creative song of the
joyous worker.
If the same problems become humdrum, something to be fought through,
something to be questioned as to their purpose, their activity, their
usefulness in the experience, then the life becomes rather as a drone,
as of one drudging, coming through toil, and with only turmoil and a
vision unclaimed, unactive in its associations with the general
conditions of the day.
