| PRACTICAL VEDANTA, THE REAL
MESSAGE OF SWAMI VIVEKANANDA |
|
|
Our true place
in life is to manifest the glory of this Self, not to indulge in pretty entertainment, in
the hoarding of possessions, the pursuit of fame and power, or other lesser goals of life
that the breed corruption.
Swami Vivekananda was called "the lion of Vedanta". This is perhaps the best way
to remember him. He took the teachings of Vedanta and Hinduism and made them appealing to
the modern world not by compromising them but by boldly and fearlessly declaring the
Supreme Truth they are based on. He took the knowledge of the ancient seers and rishis and
placed it is a futuristic language, pointing out the way for humanity to follow in ages to
come. To honor Vivekananda therefore means also to recognize and honor the great tradition
from which he came and to seek to share that with everyone. But above all it means to
practice Vedanta, which is to be the Self, and nothing less, to not be dominated by the
world but to uplift the world in all that we do. |
