WHOM SHALL I FEAR? IT IS ALL MY SELF. - IT IS THROUGH REALISATION THAT YOU BECOME A BLESSING TO OTHERS....


This truth is first to be listened to then to be thought about. Reason, argue it out by all manner of means. The enlightened know no more than that. Know it for certain that you are in everything. That is why you should not hurt anybody, because in hurting them you hurt yourself. . . . [Lastly,] this is to be meditated upon. Think upon it. Can you realise there will come a time when everything will crumble in the dust and you will stand alone? That moment of ecstatic joy will never leave you. You will actually find that you are without bodies. You never had bodies.

I am One, alone, through all eternity. Whom shall I fear? It is all my Self. This is continuously to be meditated upon. Through that comes realisation. It is through realisation that you become a [blessing] to others. . . .

    I have been a great fan of SRI RAMAKRISHNA PARAMAHAMSA and SWAMI VIVEKANANDA from my school days 1975 when I studied at Ramakrishna Mission High School, T.Nagar.
    I have read the complete works of Swami Vivekananda almost three times but still there are certain chapters that I do not understand. From last year I have been reading again many of his works and almost more than 50 books written about him, his writings, and speeches.
    Through these I revisited this great Saint who presented the wisdom of Vedanta philosophy and the spiritual science of Sanathana Dharma to the Western world in a very rational way.
    I would like to share part of what I understood and enjoyed through this small write up covering his teachings, views, observations etc, I would prefer to call them his wisdom, on a wide variety of topics from love to education to Shraddha [ devasam].
    This is my humble contribution to the 150th year of this great Saint.
