Guest guest Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda You may be a dualist and I may be a monist. You may believe that you are the eternal servant of God, and I may declare that I am one with God Himself; yet both of us are good Hindus. How is that possible? Read then - "That which exists is One; sages call It by various names." (III. 113) One peculiarity of the Hindu mind is that it always inquires for the last possible generalization, leaving the details to be worked out afterwards. The question is raised in the Vedas, "What is that, knowing which we shall know everything?" Thus, all books, and all philosophies that have been written, have been only to prove that by knowing which everything is known. (I. 148-49) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda.
