“Our duty is to encourage everyone in his struggle to live up to his own highest ideal, and strive at the same time to make the ideal as near as possible to the Truth”
— Swami Vivekananda
Simplified Meaning:
Everyone has their own goals and dreams that they want to achieve. It's our job to support and motivate others as they work hard to reach these goals. Just as a teacher helps students do their best by showing them how to study and learn properly, we should also guide others to make sure their goals are based on what is real and true. For example, if a friend wants to become an artist, we should cheer them on and offer help, while also encouraging them to understand the real skills and dedication needed to be successful. By doing this, we're not just helping them feel good about their dreams, but also making sure they are aiming for something they can truly achieve. Helping others in this realistic and honest way can lead to more meaningful and fulfilling successes for everyone.
