Guest guest Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda We go through the world like a man pursued by a policeman and see the barest glimpses of the beauty of it. All this fear that pursues us comes from believing in matter. Matter gets its whole existence from the presence of mind behind it. What we see is God percolating through Nature. (VII. 6) God is still established upon His own majestic changeless Self. You and I try to be one with Him, but plant ourselves upon Nature, upon the trifles of daily life, on money, on fame, on human love and all these changing forms in Nature which make for bondage. (I. 337) When Nature shines, upon what depends the shining? Upon God and not upon the sun nor the moon nor the stars. Wherever anything shines, whether it is the light in the sun or in our own consciousness, it is He. He shining, all shines after Him. (I. 337) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda.
