Guest guest Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda We find by analysis on philosophic grounds that we are not free. But there will remain this factor, this consciousness that I am free. What we have to explain is, how that comes. We will find that we have these two impulsions in us. Our reason tells us all our actions are caused, and at the same time, with every impulse we are asserting our freedom. The solution of the Vedanta is that there is freedom inside - that the soul is really free - but that the soul's actions are percolating through body and mind, which are not free. (V. 290) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
