Guest guest Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda Three great gifts we have: first, a human body. (The human mind is the nearest reflection of God, we are "His own image".) Second, the desire to be free. Third, the help of a noble soul who has crossed the ocean of delusion, as a teacher. When you have these three, bless the Lord; you are sure to be free. (VII. 77) The Lord alone is true; everything else is untrue; everything else should be rejected for the sake of the Lord. Vanity of vanities, all is vanity. Serve the Lord and Him alone. (IV. 60) Be strong and stand up and seek the God of Love. This is the highest strength. What power is higher than the power of purity? Love and purity govern the world. This love of God cannot be reached by the weak; therefore, be not weak, either physically, mentally, morally or spiritually. (IV. 60) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
