Guest guest Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda You have not yet understood the wonderful significance of Mother's life - none of you. But gradually you will know. Without Shakti (Power) there is no regeneration for the world. Why is it that our country is the weakest and the most backward of all countries? Because Shakti is held in dishonor there. Mother has been born to revive that wonderful Shakti in India; and making her the nucleus, once more will Gargis and Maitreyis be born in the world. Dear brother, you understand little now. But by degrees you will come to know it all. Hence it is her Math that I want first. . . . Without the grace of Shakti nothing is to be accomplished. What do I find in America and Europe? - the worship of Shakti, the worship of Power. Yet they worship Her ignorantly through sense-gratification. Imagine, then, what a lot of good they will achieve who will worship Her will all purity, in a Saatvika spirit, looking upon Her as their mother. I am coming to understand things clearer every day, my insight is opening out more and more. Hence we must first build a Math for Mother. First mother and her daughters, then Father and his sons - can you understand this? . . . . To me, Mother's grace is a hundred times more valuable than Father's. Mother's grace, Mother's blessings are all paramount to me. . . . (VII. 482) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
