Vivekananda on the Gita

[Guest guest]

This came from Binu Chandran....

 

We had to edit out the html text and also reduce the message as under:-

 

All the extracts are taken from the book “ Thoughts on the Gita” by Swami

Vivekananda.

 

All these ideas of weakness will be nowhere. Now it is everywhere- this

current of fear. Reverse the current; bring in the opposite vibration, and

behold the magic transformation! Thou are omnipotent--go, go to the mouth of

the canon, fear not. Hate not the most abject sinner, look not to his

exterior. Turn thy gaze inward, where resides the Paramatman (Supreme self).

Proclaim to the whole world with trumpet voice “ There is no sin in thee,

there is no misery in thee; thou art the reservoir of omnipotent power.

Arise, awake, and manifest the Di! vinity within!”.

 

If one reads this one shloka – one gets all the merits of reading the entire

Gita;

 

For in this one shloka lies embedded the whole message of the Gita.

3) As a lotus leaf, living in the water yet untouched by it, so should the

soul be in the world. This is a battlefield, fight your way out. Life in

this world is an attempt to see God . page15.
