1. Education

It has been stated by Swami Vivekananda that even the wealth of the entire world cannot help a small village to grow and develop till the time the people residing there do not learn to help themselves. Hence, it is essential that one should gain both intellectual as well as moral education. According to him, theories are not enough. There is a need to attain practical education in life. He insisted to have a similar sort of education pattern in all the regions in order to solve the issues and therefore he also talked about the use of a common format and single system of education in India.

2. Unity is Strength

Swami Vivekananda taught the people about the disastrous effects of splitting and dividing based on caste or beliefs. Unity is a mantra which can solve all the problems of mankind and thus we must exist together, reward together, share together and work together to enhance the unity among all the people.

3. Self Belief

One of the most sacred messages of Swami Vivekananda is to have faith in yourself. He believed that a person should first have firm belief in oneself and one’s aspirations before making the other people influence and convince to be a part of their mission. Having faith in one’s capability should be taught from childhood to every person.

4. Helping Others

If some people acquire all the wealth and luxuries of life and do not help the one who is in need then such wealth is of no use. Swami Vivekananda passed a message that we should help the poor and needy in every way possible. The aim should be to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor.
