Guest guest Posted September 26, 2000 Report Share Posted September 26, 2000 Take the idea of sin. I was telling you just now the Vedantic idea of it, and the other idea is that man is a sinner. They are practically the same, only the one takes the positive and the other the negative side. One shows to man his strength and the other his weakness. There may be weakness, says the Vedanta, but never mind, we want to grow. Disease was found out as soon as man was born. Everyone knows his disease, it requires no one to tell us what our diseases are. But thinking all the time that we are diseased will not cure us-medicine is necessary. We may forget anything outside, we may try to become hypocrites to the external world, but in our heart of hearts we all know our weaknesses. -- ______________________________ Today we continue Swamiji's lecture called: PRACTICAL VEDANTA PART I (Delivered in London, November 10,1896) ( CW.
