Guest guest Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda The idea of freedom is the only true idea of salvation - freedom from everything, the senses, whether of pleasure or pain, from good as well as evil. More than this even. We must be free from death, and to be free from death, we must be free from life. Life is but a dream of death. Where there is life, there will be death; so get away from life if you would be rid of death. (VI. 93) We are ever free if we would believe it, only have faith enough. You are the soul, free and eternal, ever free, ever blessed. Have faith enough and you will be free in a minute. Everything in time, space and causation is bound. The soul is beyond all time, all space, all causation. That which is bound is nature, not the soul. Therefore proclaim your freedom and be what you are - ever free, ever blessed. (VI. 93) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
