Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 CHAPTER X CONCLUSION When this highest ideal of love is reached, philosophy is thrown away; who will then care for it? Freedom, Salvation, Nirvâna — all are thrown away; who cares to become free while in the enjoyment of divine love? " Lord, I do not want wealth, nor friends, nor beauty, nor learning, nor even freedom; let me be born again and again, and be Thou ever my Love. Be Thou ever and ever my Love. " " Who cares to become sugar? " says the Bhakta, " I want to taste sugar. " Who will then desire to become free and one with God? " I may know that I am He; yet will I take myself away from Him and become different, so that I may enjoy the Beloved. " That is what the Bhakta says. _____________ Today we continue Swami Vivekananda's book Bhakti-Yoga found in Volume 3 of the Complete works. 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.
