Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda Then alone a man loves when he finds that the object of his love is not any low, little mortal thing. Then alone a man loves when he finds the object of his love is not a clod of earth, but is the veritable God Himself. The wife will love the husband the more when she thinks that the husband is God Himself. The husband will love the wife the more when he knows that the wife is God Himself. The mother will love the children more, who thinks that the children are God Himself. That man will love his greatest enemy, who knows that the very enemy is God Himself. That man will love a holy man, who knows that the holy man is God Himself, and that very man will also love the unholiest of men because he knows the background of that unholiest of men is even He, the Lord. (II. 286) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
