Part1 -- Swami Vivekananda Inspired Talks

Volume 7, Inspired Talks

 

As a character Buddha was the greatest the world has ever seen; next to him

Christ. But the teachings of Krishna as taught by the Gita are the grandest

the world has ever known. He who wrote that wonderful poem was one of those

rare souls whose lives sent a wave of regeneration through the world. The

human race will never again see such a brain as his who wrote the Gita.

 

If you do not allow one to become a lion, he will become a fox. Women are a

power, only now it is more for evil because man oppresses woman; she is the

fox, but when she is not longer oppressed, she will become the lion.

 

A great Bhakta (Hanuman) once said when asked what day of the month it was,

" God is my eternal date, no other date I care for. "

 

A bit of Mother, a drop, was Krishna, another was Buddha, another was

Christ. The worship of even one spark of Mother in our earthly mother leads

to greatness. Worship Her if you want love and wisdom.

 

Samâdhi is when the Divine and human are in one, or it is " bringing

sameness " . . . .

 

We are Shiva, we are immortal knowledge beyond the senses.

 

One part of the Vedas deals with Karma — form and ceremonies. The other part

deals with the knowledge of Brahman and discusses religion. The Vedas in

this part teach of the Self; and because they do, their knowledge is

approaching real knowledge. Knowledge of the Absolute depends upon no book,

nor upon anything; it is absolute in itself. No amount of study will give

this knowledge; is not theory, it is realization. Cleanse the dust from the

mirror, purify your own mind, and in a flash you know that you are Brahman.

 

Maya is the energy of the universe, potential and kinetic. Until Mother

releases us, we cannot get free.

 

The universe is ours to enjoy. But want nothing. To want is weakness. Want

makes us beggars, and we are sons of the king, not beggars.

 

What we call nature, fate, is simply God's will.

 

Knowledge can never be created, it can only be discovered; and every man who

makes a great discovery is inspired. Only, when it is a spiritual truth he

brings, we call him a prophet; and when it is on the physical plane, we call

him a scientific man, and we attribute more importance to the former,

although the source of all truth is one.

 

Christianity is always propagated by the sword. How wonderful that the

disciples of such a gentle soul should kill so much! The three missionary

religions are the Buddhist, Mohammedan, and Christian. The three older ones,

Hinduism, Judaism and Zoroastrianism, never sought to make converts.

Buddhists never killed, but converted three-quarters of the world at one

time by pure gentleness.
