SWAMI VIVEKANANDA
I do not believe in a God or religion which cannot wipe the widow's tears or bring a piece of bread to the orphan's mouth!
In life and in death, in happiness and in misery, the Lord is equally present. The whole world is full of the Lord. Open your eyes and see Him.
My children, the secret of religion lies not in theories but in practice. To be good and to do good_that is whole of religion. Let a few stand out and live for God alone and save religion for the world. Religion is the manifestation of the Divinity already in man. Religion is not in books, nor in theories, nor in talking, not even in reasoning. It is being and becoming.

RELIGION
BHARATVARSH is the only land which may claim to be a blessed punybhumi on this globe....the land where the humanity is on the top, highest towards gentleness and generosity, it attained the truth and purity, and above all the land of introspection and of spirituality for calmness.
Military power and political greatness is not the mission of this race, never it was and never it will be, even the wealth itself. Bharat never went out of its court and boundaries to conquer all these stupid, always done towards peace and purity. Although ever it was a powerful race having immense wealth in it's own treasury full, but has never tried to acquire more from outside, never stood for any imperial power, never went out to conquer other and never fought anybody. These were not the ideals of Bhartiya race.
Not by the progeny, not by the wealth, but by renunciation and service the immortality can be attained, these are the message of Bharat to the world . The all other races and the nations have failed in the past to reach over solution of world-riddle on the plane of desire, but they become extinct under the weight of wickedness and miseries, on the surface of lust for power and gold bring them old in its train, and the another ones are tottering to their fall.
It is quite clear for our race that we have solved ages ago, and hold on to it with all strength till end of time. The Unworldliness is our solution, the Renunciation is our good and evil fortune.
BHARAT_an aryavart.
If there is a GOD, we must see HIM ; If there is a soul, we must perceive it ; otherwise it is not to believe it. It is better to be an outspoken atheist than a hypocrite.
Religion is the manifestation of the natural strength that in man . Religion is the idea which is raising the brute unto man, and man unto God !
Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this divinity within, by controlling nature, external and internal. Do this either by work, or psychic control, or philosophy _by one, or more, or all of these - and be free ! This is the whole of religion. Doctrine, or dogmas, or rituals, or books, or temples, or forms are but secondary details.
No religion on this globe preaches the dignity of humanity in such a lofty strain as Hinduism, whereas in blessed land of Bharatvarsh, the foundation, the backbone, the life centre is religion and religion alone. Touch the hindu brain on spirituality, on religion, on God, on the soul, on the infinite, on spiritual freedom, and let them react, the lowest peasant in Bharat is better informed on these subjects than many a so-called Philosopher in other land. Let other talk of politics, of the glory of acquisition of immense wealth poured in by trade, of the power and spread of commercialism, of the glorious fountain of physical liberty ; but these the hindu mind does not understandand does not want to understand. This is but, a well experienced facts, that the Intellectuals of India always have fashion of modernity to criticize and always to oppose its own religion, but whereas these so-called liberal Indians got their knowledge at the cost of the same and although never have any heed to damage or destroy religion grievously. This is also the very reason, the raison d'etre, that this nation has lived on, in spite of hundreds of years of persecution, in spite of nearly thousand years of foreign rule and foreign oppression. This nation still lives ; it is true to that it still holds to God, to the treasure-house of religion and spirituality. The handful of men can throw the world off it's hinges, provided they are united in thought, word, and deed.
IT IS BETTER TO WEAR OUT THAN TO RUST OUT ! IT IS BETTER TO DIE LIKE HERO THAN TO
... STOCKS AND STONES !!
Religion is not in doctrines, in dogmas, nor in intellectual argumentation ; it is being and becoming; it is realisation.
In worshiping God we have been always worshiping our own hidden Self.
May be remembered the word of Jesus_" Ask youself, and it shall be given unto you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." These words are true, not figures, nor fiction.
I
GOD alone lives.
The soul alone lives.
Sprituality alone lives.
Hold onto that.
उतिष्ठ्तःजाग्रतःपराप्यवर्रानिबोधतः !
ARISE, AWAKE AND STOP NOT TILL THE GOAL IS REACHED
उठो, जागो और लक्ष्य की प्राप्ति तक रुको मत !
Brave, bold men, these are what we want. what we want is vigour in the blood, nerves made of steel with full of strength and iron muscles, not softening namby-pamby ideas. Mystery mongering and superstition are always a sign of weakness.
Thus Avoiding all unreligious mysteries from the vain and brain, and Forget not that O Bharata, the ideal of Thy womanhood is Sita, Savitri and Damyanti ; Forget not that the God thou worshippest is the great Ascetic of ascetics the all renouncing SANKARA, the Lord of UMA ; forget not that thy marraige, thy wealth, thy life are not for sense-pleasure, are not for thy individual personal happiness ; forget not that thou art born as a sacrifice to the Mother's altar. forget not that thy social order is but the reflex of the Infinite Universal Motherhood.
Thou brave one be bold, take courage, be proud that thou art an Bhartiya, and also proudly proclaim, " I am a Bhartiya/Indian every Bhartiya is my brother." Always Say " The ignorant, the poor, the destitute, the bramhin, the pariah all Bhartiya are my brother." Also forget not that the lower classes, the illitrate, the cobbler, the sweeper are thy flesh and blood, thy brothers.
Thou , too, clad with but a rag round thy loins, proudly proclaim at the top of the voice " The all Bhartiya are my brother, the Bhartiyata is my life and :
" Bhartiy's Gods and Godess are my GOD, Bhartiy's society is the cradle of my infancy,
the pleasure-garden of my youth, the sacred heaven, the Varanasi of my Old age. "
Say, brother_" The soil of Bharatvarsh is my highest heaven, the good of Bharat is my good." and repeat and pray day night, " O Thou Lord of Gauri, O Thou mother of the Universe, vouchsafe manliness unto me ! O Thou mother of Strength, take away my weakness, take away my unmanliness, and make me a Man !
Religion Is The Manifestation Of The Divinity Already In Man
To Be Good And To Do Good That Is Whole Of The Religion
धर्म क्या है ? धर्म किसे कहते हैं ? और धर्म से क्या लाभ ?
आदि आदि प्रश्न आज कल के आधुनिकतावादियों के मन की दुविधा है, जहां भौतिक पदार्थों की प्रचुरता से संसार भोगवाद की ओर अग्रसर है, वाणिज्य की प्रमुखता ने इसे मानव को सर्वसुलभ बना रखा है ! मनुष्य इन उपलब्ध पदार्थो को सर्वाधिक जनोपयोगी मान इनकी ही उपलब्धता के लिए कर्म करता दिखता है ; सांसारिक वस्तुएं जो इस धरती का धन है, पृथ्वी का ही एक मानव निर्मित कृत्रिम उत्पाद है जिसका ही मात्र उपयोग-उपभोग कर तृप्त होने के पीछे बेचैन हो कार्य कर रहा है ! जबकि मानव स्वयं ईश्वरीय विज्ञान से सृजित एक अमूल्य प्राकृतिक उत्पाद है, मानव स्वयं उसके शाश्वत और नैसर्गिक उन्नति और विकास को भूल बैठा है, जिसे आमूल जानना ही धर्म का अमुल्य विषय है धर्म का मर्म कर्म में निहित है !
धर्म का मर्म
धर्म तो एक बड़ा ही गूढ़ और बृहद विषय है अनादि काल से अनेकानेक विद्वत मण्डली समय-समय पर धर्म की व्याख्या तो करते ही रहे हैं फिर भी धर्म का शाब्दिक अर्थ है मनुष्य के धारण करने योग्य कर्म ! प्रत्येक मानव के अपने वह कर्तव्य जो जन-हितकारी हो धर्म कहलाता है ! धर्म संस्कृत भाषा-व्याकरण के ध्री धातु से बना वह शब्द है जिसका अर्थ होता है धारण करना, अर्थात वह कर्म जो मनुष्य के स्व और पर के हितकारी हो, जो मनुष्य के स्वयं के लिए, परिवार के लिए, समाज के लिए देश के लिए जल-थल-नभ-वायु के साथ-साथ प्रकृति-जन्य पदार्थ,
और विश्व के सभी जीव, जंतु या प्राणी जगत के कल्याणकारी और लाभकारी कर्म हो, वह कार्य हो जो दूसरों का तनिक भी अहित किये बिना किये गए हों_धर्म है !
अर्थात जो कर्म या कर्तब्य बिना दूसरों को क्षति पहुंचाए किये जाते हों और वह मानवीय है नैतिक है चारित्रिक है निश्चय ही धर्म की परिधि में आता है !
उठो विवेकानंद
तुम्ही तो भारत के निर्माता हो
कभी-कभी ऐसा भी भजन कर ले
जय हिन्द जय हिन्द
वन्दे मातरम् जय हिन्द जय हिन्द बन्दे मातरम्
कभी कभी ऐसा भी भजन कर ले !!
