Guest guest Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda Blessedness, eternal peace arising from perfect freedom, is the highest conception of religion, underlying all the ideas of God in Vedanta - absolutely free Existence, not bound by anything, no change, no nature, nothing that can produce a change in Him. This same freedom is in you and in me and is the only real freedom. (I. 337) Worship of God, worship of holy ones, concentration and meditation and unselfish work, these are the ways of breaking away from Maya's net; but we must first have the strong desire to get free. The flash of light that will illumine the darkness for us, is in us; it is the knowledge that is our nature (there is no "birthright", we were never born). All that we have to do is to drive away the clouds that cover it. (VII. 92) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
