Guest guest Posted May 17, 2002 Report Share Posted May 17, 2002 Practical Vedanta Part IV Delivered in London, November 18,1896 We have been dealing more with the universal so far. This morning I shall try to place before you the Vedantic ideas of the relation of the particular to the universal. As we have seen, in the dualistic form of the Vedic doctrines, the earlier forms, there was a clearly defined particular and limited soul for every being. There have been a great many theories about this particular soul in each individual, but the main discussion was between the ancient Vedantists and the ancient Buddhists, the former believing in the individual soul as complete in itself, the latter denying in toto the existence of such a soul. -- ______________________________ Today we begin: PRACTICAL VEDANTA Iv (Delivered in London, 18 November 1896) This lecture is found in Vol. II of the Complete Works, pg. 328-340. 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.
