Swami Vivekananda: An Inspiration to the Modern Youth

A generation exposed to drug abuse calls for a savior!

Substance abuse is another trend seen among the youth, not just in India but around the world. It is seen that there is an increased number of minors addicted to drugs. Many of them use their money to buy cigarettes, tobacco, alcohol, and drugs.

Swami Vivekananda was once quoted saying “This wonderful period of the first state of your life is related to you as the soft wet clay in the hands of the potter. Skillfully the potter gives it the right and correct shapes and forms, which he intends to give. Even so, you can wisely mould your life, your character, your physical health and strength, in short your entire nature in any way in which you make up your mind to do. And you must do this now.”

The final message

Rabindranath Tagore had said “If you want to know India, study Swami Vivekananda- in him everything is positive and nothing is negative.”  The message of the youth icon Swami Vivekananda would be to spread the message of positivity.

"You cannot teach a child any more than you can grow a plant. All you can do is on the negative side — you can only help. It is a manifestation from within; it develops its own nature — you can only take away obstructions,” said the great philosopher.
