Guest guest Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda All this universe was in Brahman, and it was, as it were, projected out of Him, and has been moving on, to go back to the source from which it was projected, like the electricity which comes out of the dynamo, completes the circuit, and returns to it. The same is the case with the soul. Projected from Brahman, it passed through all sorts of vegetable and animal forms, and at last it is in man, and man is the nearest approach to Brahman. To go back to Brahman from which we have been projected is the great struggle of life. (II. 258-59) He who is beyond the senses, beyond all touch, beyond all form, beyond all taste, the Unchangeable, the Infinite, beyond even intelligence, the Indestructible--knowing Him alone, we are safe from the jaws of death. (II. 410) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
