Swamiji continues speaking at Yoga Camp
When you walk on this hallowed spiritual-camp ground, repeat God's name. When you meet each other meet as if you were talking to God and in meeting God know that in each heart, in each body, is seated that Eternal Being in the form of your Chosen Ideal.
We are conducting an experiment, experimenting with our own minds and trying to know how best to direct that mind towards the highest bliss, the highest happiness and the highest utility.
Blessed are we that we enjoy the blessings of the great saints and sages of all ages in this Yuga [Epoch, age, era] – crossing the boundary of caste, colour, creed and religion we go to see the rightful kingdom, the kingdom of immortality. And in particular we are blessed that we enjoy the Divine Light and share in the lila of Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda.
Blessed are we. How blessed we are. Maybe someday you will realise. Who knows? Maybe you will not realise that His grace has drawn us to his bosom, like a father, like a mother, like a brother. Caring for our happiness God has conducted the experiment in this age at Dakshineswar. And after finding the truth, for the first time in the history of the world, he threw the doors open for all, whatever caste, colour and creed. He said, 'Come ye.' Just like Christ, 'Come all ye that are heavy laden and I shall comfort thee.'
Sri Ramakrishna said, 'Do your sadhana [spiritual practice].' Christ said, 'Knock, and it shall be opened.'
Sri Ramakrishna said, 'The wind of God's grace is always blowing, just unfurl the sail of your boat. . .'
From the shores of relativity He will take you to the shores of Advaita [non-duality], to the shores of Satchidananda [existence-knowledge-bliss absolute].
