Non compromising Advaita

[Guest guest]

Continuing on the non compromising teachings of Advaita Vedanta

>From the talk by Swami Vivekananda

 

"You are the veritable Gods of the universe; nay, there are not two-

there is but One. It is a mistake to say, "you and I"; say "I". It is

I who am eating in millions of mouths; how can I be hungry? It is I

who am working through an infinite number of hands; how can I be

inactive ? It is I who am living the life of the whole universe;

where is death for me ? I am beyond all life, beyond all death. Where

shall I seek for freedom ? I am free by my nature. Who can bind

me-the God of this universe ? The scriptures of the world are but

little maps, wanting to delineate my glory, who am the only existence

of the universe. Then what are these books to me ? Thus says the

Advaitist."
