TODAY’S VIVEKANANDA QUOTE

So long as one is within the realm of māyā, the idea of duality will no doubt remain. Space-time-causation (deśa-kāla-nimitta), or name and form (nāma-rūpa), is what is called māyā. When one goes beyond this māyā, one experiences oneness, and such a person is neither a dualist nor a nondualist. To such a person, all has become one.

Conversation: Saturday, January 23, 1898. Recorded in Bengali by Surendra Nath Sen in his private diary. Complete Works, 5. 336.

TODAY’S VIVEKANANDA QUOTE

Good and evil are our slaves, not we theirs. It is the nature of the brute to remain where he is and not make progress. It is the nature of man to seek good and avoid evil. It is the nature of God to seek neither but just be eternally blissful. Let us be God!

Retreat given at the Thousand Island Park, USA. June 25, 1895. Complete Works, 7. 13.
