Guest guest Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda The path of devotion is natural and pleasant. Philosophy is taking the mountain stream back to its source by force. It is a quicker method but very hard. Philosophy says, "Check everything." Devotion says, "Give up all to the stream, have eternal self-surrender." It is a longer way, but easier and happier. (VII. 44) Leave inimical thoughts aside, if you want to have permanent Bhakti. Hatred is a thing which greatly impedes the course of Bhakti and the man who hates none reaches God. (III. 358) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda.
