Perfection: already in humans?
Dear Br otherwise whollyen,Hope this letter finds you in just stead and full of happiness. Here Im also feeling happy, as nowa years I have the scope to write to you. Everything is going fine hither at our Institute, which is in f identification number going from strength to strength with the squiffy enrolment of new volunteers.News apart, Im feeling excited to sh are certain reflections of my exhibit day thought which you wanted to know. Presently Im preparing a discourse aimed to fill out the spirit of the modern youth and I would like to share close to excerpts from it.The recent train of thought in me has provided a new perch on the topic of perfection. It has been for quite some time, I was receiving various hints from the temperament and the living beings about the genesis of perfection. Later, one day when I was act to join those loose threads of thought, I suddenly stumbled upon a apocalypse which, in fact has brought in a new bend in my vision No, it hasnt brough t me on any crossroad on the contrary, it has elevated me to a plane, from where Im seeing more things with more clarity.The mentation, of which Im excited about, can be verbalized in a single phrase and Im doing that for you now Education is the demonstration of perfection, which is already in humansThis is the goldmine of vagarys that Ive struck just a few days back. It perfectly conforms with the school of thought of Vedanta even more, it consolidates the very institution of it that is, Monism.Let me try to explain in detail. You must be knowing that Vedanta philosophy is essenti onlyy based on the idea that it is one unique that has been workings all around.. This premise brings down this fact that the Almighty is not something or someone existing in somewhere, but it is He who is in us, exists every bit everywhere. All around us and beyond is attuned with His existence. Now when I was contemplating with the idea of perfection, it suddenly came to my mind that if He is in us, and if He is the epitome of perfection, thus perfection is supposed to be inherent in us as well This idea made me so excited and I took to the define road down through our garden and settled myself beneath our cosmic banyan tree to meditate in the joy of revelation.Brother James, the halo of this idea is still exerting its influence in me as now I am gradually coming to the terms of its fuller possibilities which, in essence is a limitless magic of the Divine Almighty.Imagine what would happen, if each individual perceives this truth that they are already endowed with the power to be perfect in their acts and deeds, and all they have to do is to tap that infinite reservoir of power thusly this would bring in a collective spiritual revolution crossways the globe where all men and women would be busy in discovering the intimate power of their own and all will be on the tinge plane with a soothing sense of equality Being convinced of equality, all would only be eager t o extend their helping detainment to others.This act of recognizing the inner reservoir of perfection has to have innumerable other implications as well, let alone the possibility of a collective and unionized journey towards salvation. It would shorten the cycle of rebirth if there is any because it would bear on to the soul, the spirit, or the atman in Vedic parlance which would in itself be an act of rising over the body and mindThe application of this new prepare philosophy, as Im feeling from within, would actually set everyone in motion much like the gases in the stars which emit the light till it attains the nirvana or moksha or salvation, you name it This would only spell a relentless breeding but without any competition it would be a confident treat where everyone will arise, awake and will stop not till the intent is reached.I can feel the excitement in me already, which speaks of the power of this idea. It was only days back I wrote in the pages of my intended disc ourse for the youth of the orbit What I want is the muscles of iron and nerves of steel, of which the thunderbolt is made.. and now I have to add lines to it, mentioning clearly that you have it all in you, the iron, the steel, the thunderbolt. All you need is to believe in this fact and act on this. The abide will take care of it.Brother Allen, I sincerely entreat that this idea evokes a new spirit in you too, that you become awake of your potential and utilize it to the fullest and bask in the glory of salvation after(prenominal) blooming like a star or a tiptop in this universe.Best Wishes,Swami Vivekananda,Ramkrishna Mission,Kolkata, India.01/01/1889Works ConsultedSayings of Swami Vivekananda. 3 Nov. 2007http//mysticsaint.blogspot.com/2005/06/sayings-of-swami-vivekananda.htmlQuotes of Swami Vivekananda. 3 Nov. 2007. http//thinkexist.com/quotes/swami_vivekananda/Biography of Swami Vivekananda. 3 Nov. 2007. http//www.writespirit.net/authors/swami_vivekananda/biography-swam i- vivekananda/Swami Vivekananda. http//www.sriramakrishna.org/vvksay.htm
