Guest guest Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda The Self is the eternal subject, and we are struggling all the time to objectify that Self. And out of that struggle has come this phenomenal universe and what we call matter, and so on. But these are very weak attempts, and the highest objectification of the Self possible to us is the Personal God. This objectification is an attempt to reveal our own nature. (V. 266) Man is an infinite circle whose circumference is nowhere, but the centre is located on one spot; and God is an infinite circle whose circumference is nowhere, but whose centre is everywhere. (II. 33) Today God is being abandoned by the world because He does not seem to be doing enough for the world. So they say, "Of what good is He?" Shall we look upon God as a mere municipal authority? (VII. 18) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
