Woman and Divine Feminine:Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda (January 12, 1863 - July 4, 1902) was a Vedantic monk who at one time saw women as an obstacle. However on realising the highest truth he saw no distinction between sex and saw in women the presence of the Divine Mother.

Swami Vivekananda worked effortlessly to try and uplift the plight of women, in particular Indian Women. These are few of the collection of his thoughts on women.

~ Soul has no sex, it is neither male nor female. It is only in the body that sex exists, and the man who desires to reach the spirit cannot at the same time hold sex distinctions. (CW ,V.4, P.176)

~ The best thermometer to the progress of a nation is its treatment of its women.

~ There is no chance for the welfare of the world unless the condition of women is improved.

~ Woman has suffered for aeons, and that has given her infinite patience and infinite preserverance.

~ The idea of perfect womanhood is perfect independence.

~ It is very difficult to understand why in this country [India] so much difference is made between men and women, whereas the Vedanta declares that one and the same conscious Self is present in all beings. You always criticize the women, but say what have you done for their uplift? Writing down Smritis etc., and binding them by hard rules, the men have turned the women into manufacturing machines! If you do not raise the women, who are living embodiment of the Divine Mother, don’t think that you have any other way to rise.

~ [Talking to an American audience] I should very much like our women to have your intellectuality, but not if it must be at the cost of purity. I admire you for all that you know, but I dislike the way that you cover what is bad with roses and call it good.

Intellectuality is not the highest good. Morality and spirituality are the things for which we strive. Our women are not so learned, but they are more pure.

~ In India the mother is the center of the family and our highest ideal. She is to us the representative of God, as God is the mother of the universe. It was a female sage who first found the unity of God, and laid down this doctrine in one of the first hymns of the Vedas. Our God is both personal and absolute, the absolute is male, the personal, female. And thus it comes that we now say: ’The first manifestation of God is the hand that rocks the cradle’. (CW V.4 p.170)

Who i am

HATCHI - My little dog - a heartbeat at my feet.

He is my other eyes that can see above the clouds; my other ears that hear above the winds. He is the part of me that can reach out into the sea. He has told me a thousand times over that I am his reason for being; by the way he rests against my leg; by the way he thumps his tail at my smallest smile; by the way he shows his hurt when I leave without taking him. (I think it makes him sick with worry when he is not along to care for me.) When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive. When I am angry, he clowns to make me smile. When I am happy, he is joy unbounded. When I am a fool, he ignores it. When I succeed, he brags. Without him, I am only another man. With him, I am all-powerful. He is loyalty itself. He has taught me the meaning of devotion. With him, I know a secret comfort and a private peace. He has brought me understanding where before I was ignorant. His head on my knee can heal my human hurts. His presence by my side is protection against my fears of dark and unknown things. He has promised to wait for me... whenever... wherever - in case I need him. And I expect I will - as I always have. He is just my dog(GOD)

"The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue"

@30days

A person who has never owned a dog has missed a wonderful part of life. 

@30days

         My goal in life is to be as good of a person my dog already thinks I am

@75days

The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too

@68days

Man is a dog's idea of what God should be.

@55days

There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face.

@28days

Dogs laugh, but they laugh with their tails

@70days

"Heaven goes by favour. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in."

They never talk about themselves but listen to you while you talk about yourself, and keep up an appearance of being interested in the conversation.

A man may smile and bid you hail

Yet wish you to the devil;

But when a good dog wags his tail,

You know he's on the level.

There is no faith which has never yet been broken, except that of a truly faithful dog.

A dog can express more with his tail in seconds than his owner can express with his tongue in hours.

There never yet has been a dog who learned to double cross, nor catered to you when you won then dropped you when you lost.

For me a house becomes a Home when you add a set of four legs, a happy tail, and that indescribable measure of love that we call a Dog!

"If there are no dogs in Heaven,then when I die I want to go where they went."

A dog doesn’t care if you’re rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his.

"The more people I meet the more I like my dog."

Bring me out of me

Can’t walk on this road

Can’t bear this enough load.

Bring me out of me.

Have to find the key

To open this door

Never felt like this ever before

Was it intentional,was it by chance

Was it a coincident,

Was it the same that was suppose to happen

Where to run where to hide,

There are crossroads in my sight.

Loving u so much makes me sick.

Why are there options I cant pick.

Apology is what I can have

There is nothing left for me to grab

She has the upper hand she has the key,

To open this door and set me free.

Why everything starts from her and end on her.

Why I cant see my life without her

Bring me out of me.

Hakunamatata!!!!!!

Day And Night At Single Time...........

                                  THIS PHOTO IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. BE SURE TO

READ THE TEXT BELOW TO HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING 

OF WHAT YOU ARE VIEWING. IT IS HISTORIC TOO AS THIS 

IS THE LAST MISSION FOR COLUMBIA ..

The photograph attached was taken by the crew on board the Columbia

during its last mission, on a cloudless day.

The picture is of Europe and Africa when the sun is setting.

Half of the picture is in night. The bright dots you see are the cities' lights.

The top part of Africa is the Sahara Desert .

Note that the lights are already on in Holland , Paris , and Barcelona,

and that's it's still daylight in Dublin , London , Lisbon , and Madrid .

The sun is still shining on the Strait of Gibraltar . The Mediterranean Sea is

already in darkness.

In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean you can see the Azores Islands;

below them to the right are the Madeira Islands ; a bit below are the

Canary Islands; and further South, close to the farthest western point

of Africa , are the Cape Verde Islands.

Note that the Sahara is huge and can be seen clearly both during

day time and night time.

To the left, on top, is Greenland , totally frozen.

I wonder,,,,,

It was a gloomy Saturday afternoon. A flock of birds was spending great time searching for food and playing on the main road. Out of the sudden, a big truck sped through... sad thing had happened again.

Birds can feel too. Although this bird had already died, another bird flew over to her immediately, just like a family member, unable to accept the truth.

Not long after that, another car stormed in causing the dead bird's body to whirl with the wind. The spouse noticed the movement. As if she was still alive, he quickly flew beside her again.

He stayed beside her and yelled ... "WHY ARE YOU NOT GETTING UP!?"

Unfortunately, she's no longer able to hear him. In the meantime, he's trying to lift her up.

Unfortunately, she's no longer able to hear him. In the meantime, he's trying to lift her up.

Although other birds told him its useles, he never gave up. He was trying his best to lift her up to see her flying again. Another car passed by, her dead body whirled again as if still alive and trying to fly He had used all of his energy, however... The photographer said he couldn't shoot any longer. The photographer was so worried that the living bird was going to get hurt by passing cars. So he picked up the dead bird and left it at the roadside. The live one still lingered at a nearby tree as if crying with his singing and refused to leave. Do humans have the same feelings nowadays? I wonder.
