All Members,

Respected family members of this great holy Nation.

Sub : DISCIPLESHIP : 3.
(Delivered in San Francisco, on March 29, 1900)
By Swami Vivekananda

They say there will be no more weeping in heaven.

I do not trust the man who never weeps; he has a big block of granite where the heart should be.

It is evident that the heavenly people have not much sympathy.

There are vast masses of them over there, and we are miserable creatures suffering in this horrible place.

They could pull us all out of it; but they do not.

They do not weep.

There is no sorrow or misery there; therefore they do not care for anyone's misery.

They drink their nectar, dances go on; beautiful wives and all that.


Going beyond these things, the disciple should say, "I do not care for anything in this life nor for all the heavens that have ever existed — I do not care to go to any of them.  I do not want the sense — life in any form — this identification of myself with the body — as I feel now, 'I am this body-this huge mass of flesh.'

This is what I feel I am. I refuse to believe that."


The world and the heavens, all these are bound up with the senses.

You do not care for the earth if you do not have any senses.

Heaven also is the world.

Earth, heaven, and all that is between have but one name — earth.


Therefore the disciple, knowing the past and the present and thinking of the future, knowing what prosperity means, what happiness means, gives up all these and seeks to know the truth and truth alone.

This is the first condition.

Thank you for reading

 JAIHIND.

The Essence of Dharma-23.

23/02/2018 Spoken on February 11th, 1973) This is the concept of dharma, of the duty of man in the universe, the nature of which is thus explained. Dharma has sometimes been regarded as one of the four purusharthas: dharma, artha, kama, moksha. This is the sum and substance of Hinduism. The essence of the religion of India is summed up in a phrase: dharma, artha, kama, moksha. If you are asked by anyone what is Hinduism, simply say, “Dharma, artha, kama, moksha.” This is Hinduism: a blend of these four concepts of duty. Hinduism is always a blend. It is never a one-sided affair. It has no name. ‘Hinduism’ is not the name of this religion. It is the name that is foisted upon it by Westerners, not knowing what it is. We have no name for our religion. It is not founded by any person. It is universal, capable of absorbing everything into itself like a menstruum. It is sanatana dharma, eternal dharma. It is eternal religion forever applicable to all persons of all creeds and sexes.
