Some words by Swami Vivekananda

[Guest guest]

I got frm one list.

These words by Swami Vivekananda r really gr8. It beautifully explains

wat all happens when we percieve something. All is in our hands we can

become wat we want. I guess there is only one will to live which

i guess we can say is will to know oneself. Also here Swami vivekanda says

that there r two states of mind.

 

 

The external instruments get hold of the impressions and carry them

to the organs, for you must remember always, that the eyes and ears

are only receiver, it is the internal organs, the brain centers,

which act. In Sanskrit these centers are called Indriyas, and they

carry sensations to the mind, and the mind presents them further back

to another state of the mind, which in Sanskrit is called Chitta, and

there they are organized into will, and all these present them to the

King of kings inside, the Ruler on His throne, the Self of man. He

then sees and gives His orders. Then the mind immediately acts on the

organs, and the organs on the external body. The real Perceiver, the

real Ruler, the Governor, the Creator, the Manipulator of all this,

is the Self of man.
