Guest guest Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda Instead of sacrifice of pouring oblations into the fire, perform one great sacrifice day and night - the sacrifice of your little self. "In search of wealth in this world, Thou art the only wealth I have found; I sacrifice myself unto Thee." Let us repeat this day and night, and say, "Nothing for me; no matter whether the thing is good, bad, or indifferent; I do not care for it; I sacrifice all unto Thee." Day and night let us renounce our seeming self until it becomes a habit with us to do so, until it gets into the blood, the nerves and the brain, and the whole body is every moment obedient to this idea of self-renunciation. Go then into the midst of the battlefield, with the roaring cannon and the din of war, and you will find yourself to be free and at peace. (I. 102) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda.
