Teachings of Swami Vivekananda

 

 

 

Nowadays it is very hard, even to talk of renunciation. It was said of me in America that, I was a man who came out of a land that had been dead and buried for five thousand years, and talked of renunciation. So says perhaps the English philosopher. Yet it is true that, that is the only path to religion. Renounce and give up. What did Christ say? "He that loseth his life for my sake, shall find it." Again and again did he preach renunciation as the only way to perfection. (II. 100)
