Guest guest Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda To be more free is the goal of all our efforts, for only in perfect freedom can there be perfection. This effort to attain freedom underlies all forms of worship, whether we know it or not. (I. 333) Freedom is the motive of the universe, freedom its goal. The laws of nature are the methods through which we are struggling to reach that freedom under the guidance of Mother. This universal struggle for freedom attains its highest expression in man in the conscious desire to be free. This freedom is attained by the threefold means of work, worship and knowledge. a) Work - constant, unceasing effort to help others and love others. b) Worship - consists in prayer, praise and meditation. c) Knowledge - that follows meditation. (V. 434) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
