Blame None For Your Own Faults - A Lesson For Life

Swami Vivekananda:  

This is the first lesson to learn; be determined not curse anything outside, not to lay blame upon any one outside, but be a man, stand up, lay the blame on yourself. You will find,
that is always true. Get hold of yourself.

                         The Sun goes down, its crimson rays

                         Light up the dying day;

                        A startled glance I throw behind

                        And count my triumph shame;

                        No one but me to blame

                        Each day my life I make or mar,

                        Each deed begets its kind,

                        Good good, bad bad, the tide once sat

                        No one can stop or stem;

                        No one but me to blame

                        I am my own embodied past;

                        There in the plan was made;

                        The will, the thought, to that confirm

                        To that the outer frame;

                        No one but me to blame

                        I give up hate, I give up love,

                        My thirst for life is gone;

                        Eternal death is what I want,

                        Nirvanam gives life's flame;

                        No one is left blame

 Stand up, be bold and take the blame on your own shoulders. Do not go about throwing mud at others; for all the faults you suffer from, you are the sole and only cause."

Most often we are deceived by our own mind, which draws conclusions upon baseless assumptions; Infact the reality would be quite different to what we expect. Upon careful introspection when we logically reason out the things we find it is our own doing which is the cause of our misery.

In the stirring words of Swami Vivekananda:

                   "Therefore, blame none for your own faults, stand upon your own feet, and take the whole responsibility upon yourselves. Say, "This misery that I am suffering is of my own doing, and that very thing proves that it will have to be undone by me alone." That which I created, I can demolish; that which is created by some one else I shall never be able to destroy. Therefore, stand up, be bold, be strong. Take the whole responsibility on your won shoulders, and know that you are the creator of your own destiny. All the strength and succour you want is within yourselves. Therefore, make your own future. "

  "Let the dead past bury its dead." The infinite future is before you, and you must always remember that each word, thought, and deed, lays up a store for you and that as the bad thoughts and bad works are ready to spring upon you like tigers, so also there is the inspring hope that the good thoughts and good deeds are ready with the power of a hundred thousand angels to defend you always and for ever."
