— Condensed from Swami Vivekananda’s documented lectures; not a sentence he delivered in this form
About this quote
हिन्दी में
सारी शक्ति तुम्हारे भीतर है, तुम कुछ भी और सब कुछ कर सकते हो।
What it means
There are two different claims here, and only the first is solid. All the power is within you is a claim about source — where capacity comes from and who is holding it. You can do anything and everything is a claim about scope, and it does not follow: a power being yours says nothing about its limits.
The first half is the part that repays keeping, because it targets a specific and common error — waiting for someone to confer an ability you already have. The second half, taken literally, sets a reader up to read every ordinary limit as a personal failure, which is the reverse of what the first half was doing.
What it teaches you
Pick one thing you are currently waiting on before you begin — a qualification, a mentor, someone senior to say you are ready — and ask whether the true blocker is permission or capability. If it is permission, the first half of this line applies directly and the wait is self-imposed. If it is capability, the honest response is a training plan, not a louder affirmation.
अर्थ और सीख
इस पंक्ति में दो अलग दावे हैं: पहला यह कि शक्ति का स्रोत आपके भीतर ही है, और दूसरा यह कि आप सब कुछ कर सकते हैं — दूसरा पहले से निकलता नहीं। पहला हिस्सा असली काम का है, क्योंकि वह उस आदत पर चोट करता है जिसमें हम किसी और से अनुमति या योग्यता मिलने का इंतज़ार करते रहते हैं। सीख यह है कि जिस काम को आप टाल रहे हैं, उसमें देखें कि रुकावट अनुमति की है या सचमुच क्षमता की — पहली स्थिति में इंतज़ार आपका अपना बनाया हुआ है, दूसरी में नारे नहीं, अभ्यास की योजना चाहिए।
Where it comes from
The compressed, most-shared form of a longer passage: whatever power you are waiting to be given, you already hold. Short versions travel further than full ones, which is why this line is on a thousand posters and the paragraph it came from is on almost none.
A condensation of his documented lecture material rather than a sentence he delivered in exactly this form; the fuller wording is also on this site. Swami Vivekananda’s lectures and letters are collected in the nine-volume Complete Works, which is fully searchable — so his sayings can be checked, and we flag the ones that cannot.
