2. Let the youth of India be humble in attainment for that is the legacy of the land which they are heir to.
3. A vast soul is seldom swayed by the winds of change but a small soul is filled with pride so soon.
4. Swamiji had a lot of expectations from the youth who he had exhorted to live lives of perfect purity and wholehearted dedication.
5. Let us not dilute the ideals of Swami Vivekananda to suit our petty purposes but let us live up to them.
6. This day was born the prince among men who chose to live the life of a royal beggar.
“भवति भिक्षां देहि” mata
7. Sri Ramakrishna had read in the bud the afforestation to be. The world awoke to its splendour in Chicago.
8. This is pure beauty. So indeed is the life of the one who renounced his all for us, who lived a life of unsullied purity.
9. Did he descend from the high heavens or did he ascend from the depths of the being. Where lies Swamiji's habitat?
10. He stood in the bubble of the moment and spoke with the voice of eternity.
11. Instead of being dry intellectuals let the youth learn lessons of the high heart from Swamiji on this auspicious day of his birth.
12. This is a day of inspiration. Let us do an act of charity today to alleviate the misery of brother man wherever he suffers.
13. From the depths of the Being, through the dark of the enveloping ignorance comes the Prophet of the times to lead us unto Truth.
14. The glory of Vivekananda was that he was a free soul. So are you all and this is what he came to preach. Divinities, arise and act.
15. There he comes again in majestic manner, founded in Truth, armed in purity and steeled in character with love overflowing for all.
16. Allow your children the free space they need for the flourishing of their emerging personalities. Let purity be the guiding light.
17. My prostrations to Bhuvaneshwari Devi and Vishwanath Datta for their gift nonpareil to us. How joyous they must have felt today!
18. Swamiji was the embodiment of purity. He was a blazing fire of brahmacharya. Thence flowed his power.
19. Let the youth be manly and let them eschew all effeminate attributes, those enervating, paralysing, debilitating poetic tendencies.
20. He straightens your bent back. He lends character to the hopelessly lost and helps them on to relive their lives. Who is he?
21. Pledge to cheat no more the poor of their daily bread as you fill up your coffers for posterity to idle on.
22. Will this day pass in idle felicitation and fanfare or will it leave some mark of character-reformation on us?
23. Just affirm your freedom of the Self by negating body-consciousness and that is all there is to spirituality in its essence.
24. Organise yourselves, O my young friends, along the lines laid down by Swamiji. Then set yourselves to doing something worthwhile.
25. Today we are here. Tomorrow we will not be for the bell will toll for us to depart. Let us leave Vivekananda for our children.
26. O my little ones, when will you grow up to wipe the tears of your Mother who longingly looks to you across centuries of torment?
27. The one absolute transcendental Truth shines through shifting space-time as the many varying phenomenal relative truths.
28. Let us go back to the Upanishads for a reorientation of our national life and a relocating in our roots.
29. Speak the truth. Speak it in a pleasant way. Do not speak an unpleasant truth in an unpleasant way but speak it pleasantly.
30. This grand pursuit of Truth is what we call life. It is the constant struggle to assert one's supremacy over Nature and be free.
31. The highest and the ultimate purpose of life is Self-realisation or Atmajnana. This is the central message of the Upanishads. Self-realisation may be attained by the negation of the non-Self, that is, the universal package of psycho-physical phenomena.
32. Let the youth of India make this pledge to themselves : "We may go abroad to study but we must return to serve our motherland."
33. Swamiji is the property of the whole world for he stood for the truth in all and not of a particular people. He was simply universal.
34. It is reprehensible to see ignorant people pass damaging comments on Swamiji, labelling him as sectarian and bigoted. How untrue!
