Guest guest Posted January 12, 2000 Report Share Posted January 12, 2000 It is Vivekananda Jayanti today. Swami Vivekananda was born as Narendranath Datta, 137 years ago on 12th January 1863. --------------------------- HARI OM ------------------------------- Why should we have all these bitter experiences in order to gain faith in ourselves? We can see that all the difference between man and man is owing to the existence of non-existence of faith in himself. Faith in ourselves will do everything. I have experi- enced it in my own life, and am still doing so; and as I grow older that faith is becoming stronger and stronger. He is an ath- eist who does not believe in himself. The old religion said that he was an atheist who did not believe in God. The new religion says that he is the atheist who does not believe in himself. But it is not selfish faith, because Vedanta, again, is the doct- rine of oneness. It means faith in all, because you are all. -- Swami Vivekananda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
