Guest guest Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Pearls of Wisdom The Bhakta in this state of perfect resignation, arising out of intense love to God, and to all that are His ceases to distinguish between pleasure and pain in so far as they affect him. He does not know what it is to complain of pain or misery; and this kind of uncomplaining resignation to the Will of God, who is all Love, is indeed a worthier acquisition than all of grand and heroic performances. (III. 83) The Bhakta's renunciation is that Vairagya or non-attachment for all things that are not God, which results from Anuraga or great attachment to God. (III. 76) Our allegiance is to the principles always, and not to the persons. (III. 280) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda.
