Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda The Hindus were bold, to their credit be it said, bold thinkers in all their ideas, so bold that one spark of their thought frightens the so-called bold thinkers of the West. Well has it been said by Prof. Max Muller about these thinkers, that they climbed up to heights where their lungs only could breathe, and where those of other beings would have burst. These brave people followed reason wherever it led them, no matter at what cost, never caring what society would think about them, or talk about them, but what they thought was right and true, they preached and they talked. (I. 346-37) The ancient Hindus were wonderful scholars, veritable living encyclopedias. They said, "Knowledge in books and money in other people's hands is like no knowledge and no money at all". (VII. 40) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
