Guest guest Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda To acquire freedom, we have to go beyond the limitations of this universe; it cannot be found here. Perfect equilibrium, or what he Christians call the peace that passeth understanding, cannot be had in this universe, nor in heaven, nor in any place where our mind and thoughts can go, where the senses can feel, or which the imagination can conceive. No such place can give us the freedom, because all such places would be within our universe, and it is limited by space, time and causation. (I. 97) If we give up our attachment to this little universe of the senses or the mind, we shall be free immediately. The only way to come out of bondage is to go beyond the limitations of law, to go beyond causation. (I. 98) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda.
