Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 In modern times this millennial aspiration takes the form of equality — of liberty, equality, and fraternity. This is also fanaticism. True equality has never been and never can be on earth. How can we all be equal here? This impossible kind of equality implies total death. What makes this world what it is? Lost balance. In the primal state, which is called chaos, there is perfect balance. _____________ Excerpts taken from Swami Vivekananda's book Karma-Yoga found in Volume 1 of the Complete works, Volume 1 / Karma-Yoga / CHAPTER VIII -- THE IDEAL OF KARMA-YOGA 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. Please tell a friend about this Vivekananda Mailing (VML) list and study group.
