Swami Vivekananda

[Guest guest]

If superstition enters, the brain is gone.

 

Superstition is our great enemy, but bigotry is worse.

 

A tremendous stream is flowing toward the ocean, carrying us all along

with it; and though like straws and scraps of paper we may at times

float aimlessly about, in the long run we are sure to join the Ocean

of Life and Bliss.

 

God is self-evident, impersonal, omniscient, the Knower and the Master

of nature, the Lord of all. He is behind all worship and it is being

done according to Him, whether we know it or not.

 

Delusion will vanish as the light becomes more and more effulgent,

load after load of ignorance will vanish, and then will come a time

when all else has disappeared and the sun alone shines.

 

Come out into the broad light of day, come out from the little narrow

paths, for how can the infinite soul rest content to live and die in

small ruts?

 

Come out into the universe of Light. Everything in the universe is

yours, stretch out your arms and embrace it with love. If you every

felt you wanted to do that, you have felt God.

 

MEDITATION TODAY:

 

Isn't it man that makes money? Where did you ever hear of money making

man? If you can make your thoughts and words perfectly at one, if you

can, I say, make yourself one in speech and action, money will pour in

at your feet of itself, like water.
