Guest guest Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda Everything that we perceive around us is struggling towards freedom, from the atom to the man, from insentient, lifeless particle of matter to the highest existence on earth, the human soul. The whole universe is in fact the result of this struggle for freedom. (I. 108) All that we see in the universe has for its basis this one struggle towards freedom; it is under the impulse of this tendency that the saint prays and the robber robs. When the line of action is not a proper one we call it evil and when the manifestation of it is proper and high we call it good. But the impulse is the same, the struggle towards freedom. (I. 108-109) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
