Guest guest Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda One of the chief distinctions between the Hindu and the Christian religion is that the Christian religion teaches that each human soul had its beginning, at its birth into this world; whereas the Hindu religion asserts that the Spirit of man is an emanation of the Eternal Being and had no more a beginning than God Himself. Innumerable have been and will be its manifestations in its passage from one personality to another, subject to the great law of spiritual evolution, until it reaches perfection, when there is no more change. (IV. 188-89) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
