Swami Vivekananda and the meaning of the Mantra that we always recite.

[Guest guest]

Dear Dwellers in Self in TBP,

 

Love and Love alone....

 

Hereunder I am quote a few lines from the Vedanta Kesari, March

issue:

 

" Whatever you dream and think of, you create. If it is hell, you die

and see hell. If it is evil and Satan, you get a Satan. If ghosts,

you get ghosts. Whatever you think, that you become. If you have to

think, think good thoughts, great thoughts. This taking for granted

that you are weak little worms! By declaring we are weak, we become

weak, we do not become better. Suppose we put out the light, close

the windows, and call the room dark. Think of the non-sense! What

good does it do me to say I am a sinner? If I am in the dark, let me

light a lamp. "

 

Swami Vivekananda, CW, 8:130-31

Tamasomaa Jyothirgamaya

.... Brihadaranyaka Upanishad - Ch.I.3.28

 

From untruth (O Lord) lead me to Truth. From darkness (of ignorance)

lead me to light (of knowledge). From death lead me to immortality.

 

Untruth is non-existence and unreal while Truth is the existence

eternal and the Real.

 

Love and Love alone....
