WEC-Day 16- What I learnt today from a book

I am reading the book " The complete works of Swami Vivekananda, vol 1" and these are some of the lessons worth noting:

1.Pleasure is not the goal of man, but knowledge. This knowledge, is inherent in man.

2. The external world is simply the suggestion, the occasion, which sets you to study your own mind, but the object of your study is always your own mind.

3. Watch a man do his most common actions; those are indeed the things which will tell you the real character of a great man. Great occasions rouse even the lowest of human beings to some kind of greatness, but he alone is the really great man whose character is great always, the same wherever he be.

4.  A fool may buy all the books in the world, and they will be in his library; but he will be able to read only those that he deserves to; and this deserving is produced by karma.

5. Fulfil your desire for power and everything else, and after you have fulfilled the desire, will come the time when you will know that they are all very little things.
