Guest guest Posted March 13, 2000 Report Share Posted March 13, 2000 But with this secret we must take into consideration the great objection against work, namely that it causes pain. All misery and pain come from attachment. I want to do work, I want to do good to a human being; and it is ninety to one that that human being whom I have helped will prove ungrateful and go against me; and the result to me is pain. Such things deter mankind from working; and it spoils a good portion of the work and energy of mankind, this fear of pain and misery. -- ______________________________ Sorry, a mistake from yesterday, we are continuing: The Ideal of a Universal Religion This is a part of a daily study of the lectures and writings of Swami Vivekananda.
