Bhubaneswar: With the babalogs’ – from Ram Rahim, Asaram to our own backyard’s Sarathi baba – soap opera giving nightmarish moments to all and sundry, and when some masquerading as rationalists attack the foundation philosophy of religious spiritualism, in order to steer clear, men on streets need to listen to what Swami Vivekananda had said.

What Is Religion?

“Religion deals with the truths of metaphysical world just as chemistry, biology and physics deal with the physical natural world ( means that one can see, feel and taste). The book one must read to learn Chemistry is the book of nature; whereas the book you need to learn Religion is your own Heart and Mind,” Explained the Monk Narendra.

Simplifying it further, Swami Vivekananda said, “Personal purity is Dharma.”

As per Swami Atmaprabhananda, doing a duty with a ‘pure' mind and heart is akin to worshipping the universal god. Pure affection for your duty and mankind is the only Dharma.

These valuable interpretations will evaporate the smokescreen created with regards to secularism and Religion.

Moreover, when the country and State are saddled with societal mutations in the realms ranging from teen syndromes, professional pressures to relationship blues, the sagacious ponderings of the Monk Narendra shows the way.

Consider The Sample Lessons

On Future Religion: Advaita will be the future religion of thinking Indians. And it is the only way to save India from materialism.

On Relationship:Relationships are more important than life. But it is important for those relationships to have life in them.

On Love: Love can never be the means.. It must be the perfect end. If someone says to you, “ I love you for such and such thing,” s/he doesn’t love you.

For which, Swami Vivekananda had said Love leads one to heaven and lust to hell.

On Success: Take up one idea, make that one idea your life. Think of it, dream of it. Live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

*The great secret of true success, of true happiness, is this: the man or woman who asks for no return, the perfectly unselfish person, is the most successful.

On Problems: In a day, when you don’t come across any problems –you can be sure that you are travelling on a wrong path.
