Practical Vedanta 4

[Guest guest]

Vivekananda Centre

 

From a talk by Swami Vivekananda on Practical Vedanta (London 1896)

 

"

Condemn none; if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot,

fold your hands bless your brothers, and let them go their own way. Dragging

down and condemning is not the way to work. Never is work accomplished in

that way. We spend our energies in condemning others. Criticism and

condemnation is a vain way of spending our energies, for in the long run we

come to learn that all are seeing the same thing, are more or less

approaching the same ideal and that most of our differences are merely

differences of expression. "
