SWAMI VIVEKANAND : MASTER OF LIFE



SWAMI VIVEKANAND : MASTER OF LIFE :

You may have mastered philosophy, you may have mastered literature, or any subject of your choice, but until you’ve mastered life and death, you’ve not really mastered anything. 

Swami Vivekananda – a man with the courage to say, “Death I have conquered long ago when I gave up life. My only anxiety is the work” – wasn’t a Master of Science or Engineering or Arts; but he was a Master of Life. He lived the fact that it’s never too early tobegin to understand and comprehend the spirit. He reminded us that wisdom is not necessarily the preserve of ripe old age. Vivekananda used his youth, the only time he had in life, to study and master life and death – which is why, to me, he remains the definitive youth icon, one who practiced his philosophy in his youth, not just preached to the youth.

Om Namah Shivay.
