THE TAJ MAHAL OF TEMPLES

[Guest guest]

THE TAJ MAHAL OF TEMPLES Swami Vivekananda--"The living

God is within you, and yet you are building churches and temples and believing

all sorts of imaginary nonsense. The only God to worship is the human soul in

the human body. Of course all animals are temples too, but man is the highest,

the Taj Mahal of temples. If I cannot worship in that, no other temple will be

of any advantage. The moment I have realised God sitting in the temple of every

human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God

in him---that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and

I am free.
