Guest guest Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda Shakya Muni came not to destroy, but he was the fulfillment, the logical conclusion, the logical development of the religion of the Hindus. (I. 21) I would like to see moral men like Gautama Buddha, who did not believe in a Personal God or a personal soul, never asked about them, but was a perfect agnostic and yet was ready to lay down his life for anyone and worked all his life for the good of all and thought only for the good of all. Well has it been said by his biographer, in describing his birth, that he was born for the good of the many, as a blessing to the many. He did not go to the forest to meditate for his own salvation; he felt that the world was burning and that he must find a way out. "Why is there so much misery in the world?"--was the one question that dominated his whole life. (II. 352) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda.
