Our Duties

Swami Vivekananda

• Our first duty is not to hate ourselves; because to advance we must have faith in ourselves first and then in God. He who has no faith in himself can never have faith in God.

• Every man should take up his own ideal and endeavour to accomplish it; that is a surer way of progress than taking up other men's ideals, which he can never hope to accomplish.

• The only true duty is to be unattached and to work as free beings, to give up all work unto God.
