Guest guest Posted August 20, 2000 Report Share Posted August 20, 2000 PRACTICAL VEDANTA PART I (Delivered in London, November 10,1896) I have been asked to say something about the practical position of the Vedanta philosophy. As I have told you, theory is very good indeed, but how are we to carry it into practice ? If it be absolutely impracticable, no theory is of any value whatever, except as intellectual gymnastics. The Vedanta, therefore, as a religion must be intensely practical. We must be able to carry it out in every part of our lives. And not only this, the fictitious differentiation between religion and the life of the world must vanish, for the Vedanta teaches oneness-one life throughout. -- ______________________________ Today we begin Swamiji's lecture called: PRACTICAL VEDANTA PART I (Delivered in London, November 10,1896) This is a part of a daily study of the lectures and writings of Swami Vivekananda. All lectures are sent out in sequenced form, as he spoke them. Please tell a friend about this Vivekananda Mailing list and study group. To or send a message to sarada.
