Guest guest Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda We all have to begin as dualists in the religion of love. God is to us a separate Being and we feel ourselves to be separate beings also. Love then comes in the middle, and man begins to approach God, and God also comes nearer and nearer to man. Man takes up all the various relationships of life, as father, as mother, as son, as friend, as master, as lover, and projects them on his ideal of love, on his God. To him God exists as all these, and the last point of his progress is reached when he feels that he has become absolutely merged in the object of his worship. (III. 100) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
