Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." "The kingdom of Heaven is within you." Where goest thou to seek for the kingdom of God? asks Jesus of Nazareth, when it is there, within you. Cleanse the spirit, and it is there. It is already yours. How can you get what is not yours? It is yours by right. You are the heirs of immortality, sons of the eternal Father. (IV. 149) How can you make the spirit pure? By Renunciation. A rich man asked Jesus, "Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?" And Jesus said unto him, "One thing thou lackest; go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasures in heaven; and come, take up thy cross, and follow me." (IV. 149) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
