INSPIRING THOUGHTS
THE MAJORITY OF US CANNOT SEE BEYONG A FEW YEARS, JUST AS SOME ANIMALS CANNOT SEE BEYONG A FEW STEPS. JUST A LITTLE NARROW CIRCLE - THAT IS OUR WORLD. WE HAVE NOT THE PATIENCE TO LOOK BEYOND, AND THUS BECOME IMMORAL AND WICKED. THIS IS OUR WEAKNESS, OUR POWERLESSNESS.
TO LOVE ANYONE PERSONALLY IS BONDAGE. LOVE ALL ALIKE, THEN ALL DESIRES FALL OFF.
WHATEVER MAY BE THE POSITION OF PHILOSOPHY, WHATEVER MAY BE THE POSITION OF METAPHYSICS, SO LONG AS THERE IS SUCH A THING AS DEATH IN THE WORLD, SO LONG AS THERE IS SUCH A THING AS WEAKNESS IN THE HUMAN HEART, SO LONG AS THERE IS A CRY GOING OUT OF THE HEART OF MAN IN HIS VERY WEAKNESS, THERE SHALL BE A FAITH IN GOD.
IF WE WERE REALLY UNATTACHED, WE SHOULD ESCAPE ALL THIS PAIN OF VAIN EXCEPTION, AND COULD CHEERFULLY DO GOOD WORK IN THE WORLD, NEVER WILL UNHAPPINESS OR MISERY COME THOUGH WORK DONE WITHOUT ATTACHMENT. THE WORLD WILL GO ON WITH ITS HAPPINESS AND MISERY THROUGH ETERNITY.
THERE HE REALIZED THE ONENESS OF THE UNIVERSE AND MAN, THAT MAN IS A UNIVERSE IN MINIATURE.
THINKING ABOUT SENSE - OBHJECTS WILL ATTACH YOU TO SENSE - OBJECTS, GROW ATTACHED, AND YOU BECOME ADDICTED, THWART YOUR ADDICTION, IT TURNS TO ANGER, BE ANGRY, AND YOU CONFUSE YOUR MIND, CONFUSE YOUR MIND, YOU FORGET THE LESSON OF EXPERIENCE, YOU LOSE DISCRIMINATION, LOSE DISCRIMINATION, AND YOU MISS LIFE'S ONLY PURPOSE
IF ONE RELIGION TRUE, THEN ALL THE OTHERS ALSO MUST BE TRUE. THUS THE HINDU FAITH IS YOURS AS MUCH AS MINE.
VIVEKANANDA ONCE REMARKED, IN TRYING TO PRACTICE RELIGION, EIGHTY PERCENT OF PEOPLE TURN CHEATS AND ABOUT FIFTEEN PERCENT GO MAD, ONLY THE REMAINING FIVE PERCENT ATTAIN THE IMMEDIATE PERCENT ATTAIN THE IMMEDIATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE INFINITE TRUTH.
IT IS OUR PRIVILEGE TO BE ALLOWED TO BE CHARITABLE, FOR ONLY SO CAN WE GROW. THE POOR MAN SUFFERS THAT WE MAY BE HELPED, LET THE GIVER KNEEL DOWN AND GIVE THANKS, LET THE RECIEVE STAND UP AND PERMIT.
TO DEVOTE YOUR LIFE TO THE GOOD OF ALL AND TO THE HAPPINESS OF ALL IS RELIGION WHATEVER YOU DO FOR YOUR OWN SAKE IS NOT RELIGION.
IT IS A TREMENDOUS ERROR TO FEEL HELPLESS. DO NOT SEEK FROM ANYONE. WE ARE OUR OWN HELP. IF WE CANNOT HELP OURSELVES, THERE IS NONE TO HELP US... THOU THYSELF ONLY ENEMY. THERE IS NO OTHER ENEMY BUT THIS SELF TO MINE, NO OTHER FRIEND BUT MYSELF.
AFTER A TIMED MAN FINDS THAT IT IS NOT HAPPINESS, BUT KNOWLEDGE. TOWARDS, WHICH HE IS GOING, AND THAT BOTH PLEASURE AND PAIN ARE GREAT TEACHERS, AND THAT HE LEARNS AS MUCH FROM EVIL AS FROM GOOD.
A THOUSAND YEARS A CITY, AND A THOUSAND YEARS A FOREST.
THE COMMON SAYING HAS IT, WE THINK THAT MAN "LIVES TO EAT" NOT "EATS TO LIVE" WE ARE CONTINUALLY MAKING THIS MISTAKE, WE ARE REGARDING NATURE AS OURSELVES, WE ARE REGARDING NATURE AS OURSELVES AND ARE BECOMING ATTACHED TO IT, AND AS SOON AS THIS ATTACHMENT COMES, THERE IS THE DEEP IMPRESSION ON THE SOUL, WHICH BINDS US DOWN AND MAKES US WORK NOT FROM FREEDOM BUT LIKE SLAVES.
TRUTH REQUIRES NO PROP TO MAKE IT STAND.
IMPURITY IS A MERE SUPERIMPOSITION UNDER WHICH YOUR REAL NATURE HAS BECOME HIDDEN. BUT THE REAL YOU IS ALREADY PERFECT, ALREADY STRONG.
INEQUALITY IS THE VERY BASIS OF CREATION. AT THE SAME TIME THE FORCES STRUGGLING TO OBTAIN EQUALITY ARE AS MUCH A NECESSITY OF CREATION AS THOSE WHICH DESTROY IT.
IT IS THE SUBJECTIVE WORL THAT RULES THE OBJECTIVE. CHANGE THE SUBJECT, AND THE OBJECT IS BOUND TO CHANGE, PURIFY YOURSELF, AND THE WORLD IS BOUND TO BE PURIFIED.
OUR FIRST DUTY IS NOT TO HATE OURSELVES, BECAUSE TO ADVANCE WE MUST HAVE FAITH IN OURSELVES FIRST AND THEN IN GOD. THOSE WHO HAVE NO FAITH IN THEMSELVES CAN NEVER HAVE FAITH IN GOD.
WHEN WE HAVE SUCCEEDED IN PREVENTING ALL THE FORCES IN THE WORLD FROM THROWING US OFF OUR BALANCE, THEM ALONE WE HAVE ATTAINED TO FREEDOM, AND NOT BEFORE.
WHERE THERE IS FIRE, OR IN WATER OR ON GROUND WHICH IS STREW WITH DRY LEAVES, WHERE THERE ARE MANY ANT-HILLS, WHERE THERE ARE WILD ANIMALS, OR DANGER, WHERE FOUR STREETS MEET, WHERE THERE IS TOO MUCH NOISE, YOGA MUST NOT BE PRACTICED.
YOU NEED NOT WORRY OR MAKE YOURSELF SLEEPLESS ABOUT THE WORLD, IT WILL GO ON WITHOUT YOU.
TO SUCCEED, YOU MUST HAVE TREMENDOUS PERSEVERANCE, TREMENDOUS WILL. I WILL DRINK THE OCEAN, SAYS THE PERSEVERING SOUL, AT MY WILL MOUNTAINS WILL CRUMBLE UP. HAVE THAT SORT OF ENERGY, THE SORT OF WILL, WORK HARD, AND YOU WILL REACH THE GOAL.
THAT RELIGION IS PERFECTED IN US ONLY WHEN IT HAS LED US TO, HIM WHO IS THE ONLE LIFE IN A UNIVERSE OF DEATH, HIM WHO IS THE CONSTANT BASIS OF AN EVER-CHANGING WORLD, THAT ONE WHO IS THE ONLY SOUL, OF WHICH ALL SOULS ARE BUT DELUSIVE MANIFESTATIONS.
RELIGIONS IS NOT MATTER OF BOOKS AND BELIEFS, BUT OF SPIRITUAL REALISATION.
