one day this narendra told ramakrishna look i am i am so i'm stout i want to be established
in good experience continually i love to be kind of get myself in that state of mind but
i experience god continually please please help me you would have thought any guru would say oh
what a lovely disciple he wants nothing but god experience he doesn't want money
he doesn't want to chase after women he just wants god experience what more can i expect
and the guru would have been pleasing well done my boy and petty one is back
the moment vivekan said i want to be established that please please let me put me in that state
ramkashna you would have thought you would pet you nice boy nice boy didn't work like that he said i
am so disappointed in you is he disappointed in me he said i'm so disappointed in you you
i thought are a great tree huge oak tree under which a lot of people will be able to sit under
your shed and get relief you are not here for your personal salvation silly boy you are here
for the salvation of all of humanity why are you becoming like a beggar asking for your salvation
i thought higher of you he told him of imagine being told off by a guru for saying please let me
be established and go i don't want money i don't want anything i just want to be good experience
so you are horrible man you are horrible you are not meant for that you see why am i stressing this
this is the vision of veda kanan and this becomes visible in later days
he is not here for personal salvation saying let me get find god get moksha end of delusion of this
life and all these limitations let me become you know let me touch base with my real being
become infinitely kind of involved with infinite give up this finite
shrug it off you may have thought this vivacana said later on he said let me suffer thousands of
miseries let me be born again and again so that i can worship the only form of god that i believe in
the sum total of humanity look at this man he's saying oh lord if you take on all these forms
and you want to muck about here don't send me off let me be born again and again and the process of
being born is painful we all know it we don't make a big possible because we have to live with it
this living is painful we all know no end of suffering you see let me be born again
and again and suffer thousands of miseries so that i can worship the only form of god that
i really worship the sum total of humanity you see he doesn't see god there that he has to go
and find him and merge in god he sees god here he said this is my living god in front of me
i wish to interact with the living god and it is you see he said something very powerful he said
in this life the special object of my worship is humanity he's a champion of human beings humanity
he's not in love with god he's in love with human beings this is the transition that modern india
required you see what if you go into india what is the biggest problem this huge gap between lot
of people with a lot of money people with nothing crushed you needed a champion of humanity who sees
who sees religion being put into practice not by tinkling bells in front of images but by lifting
all of humanity up giving them dignity deifying them uplifting them all of humanity solely needed
in modern india and yet being ignored thoroughly ignored if you go today to india if you are the
lower rung of society they will crush you you stand no chance more pity nothing you will be
treated worse than an animal so this message of swami vivekananda has not been has not really
percolated into india do you know how it will enter back into india via here why are the west
you see so this message of advaith this powerful message again the guru is training the disciple
and the guru is equally sharp equally tough it doesn't give anything easy he doesn't allow second
best from vivekananda he wants him to go for the highest not your salvation my boy salvation of
humanity is the goal and again this is not done in a bit with in the spirit of you know kind of uh
i am the doer and you you can receive from me it is done in the spirit of
i mentioned my last talk seva not compassion to humanity serving humanity because you are lucky to
be in a position to serve the rest of humanity enjoy the process can count your lucky stars
that you are in a position to do something with the rest of humanity see these messages i told
you with the ramakrishna and the vivekanan story we do not only see you know kind of
reconcile the various approaches of hindus in the past god with form good without form good
is your essential nature this becomes reconciled in their lives it's very visible but i told you
it's not just the past catching up with us but the past producing a modern proponent a modern hero
who is now looking to the future and presenting spirituality suited to this 8th the 21st century
and you see this this material is so dramatic look look around the field look around you see you here
they're all lovely people in the world today lot of good people lot of doing lot of good work we
do not under underestimate anybody or undermine anybody's efforts but when you look at the the
dynamo that sits here this idea of ram krishna viva kanan this idea of deifying divinifying
humanity reconciling the various aspects of spirituality in one life in one particular mold we
say ah what it what what a what a marvelous vision of how spirituality will become visible become
attainable become accessible to whole of humanity in days to come this is the story of ramakrishna
vivekananda
