Guest guest Posted August 19, 2000 Report Share Posted August 19, 2000 The wall has no desires, so neither has the perfect man. But the wall is not sentient enough to desire, while for the perfect man there is nothing to desire. There are idiots who have no desires in this world, because their brain is imperfect At the same time, the highest state is when we have no desires, but the two are opposite poles of the same existence. One is near the animal, and the other near to God. -- ______________________________ Today we finish Swamiji's lecture called: THE ATMAN: ITS BONDAGE AND FREEDOM (Delivered in America) This is a part of a daily study of the lectures and writings of Swami Vivekananda.
