Guest guest Posted January 17, 2000 Report Share Posted January 17, 2000 From a lecture given in London by Swami Vivekananda in 1896 All the gods are here, the prototypes of man. The gods did not create man after their type, but man created gods. We have been projecting our little doubles and we are the originals of these gods, we are the real, the only gods to be worshipped. This is the view of Vedanta and this its practicality. When we have become free, we need not go mad and throw up society and rush off to die in the forest or the cave; we shall remain where we were, only we shall understand the whole thing. We do not see what this world is yet, it is only through freedom that we see what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
