Guest guest Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda To many the path becomes easier, if they believe in God. But the life of Buddha shows that even a man who does not believe in God, has no metaphysics, belongs to no sect and does not go to any church or temple and is a confessed materialist, even he can attain the highest. We have no right to judge him. I wish I had one infinitesimal part of Buddha's heart. Buddha may or may not have believed in God; that does not matter to me. He reached the same state of perfection to which others come by Bhakti--love of God, Yoga or Jnana. (IV. 136) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda.
