Daily Reads-2: November 19, 2009
Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda - Volume VII
Though this book is in my Daily Reads collection, I find I am not actually read it daily - so many distractions, disturbances and demands on my time. What to do! However, today I could read it. I generally read only a page or two and savour what I have read.
From today's reading, the following passage impressed me most and hence I am excerpting it here.
"The greatest sin is to think yourself weak. No one is greater: realise you are Brahman. ... Stand up and say, I am the master, the master of all. We forge the chain, and we alone can break it."
