Why Swami Vivekananda's Vedic Wisdom Still Appeal To The Youth Today
Swami Vivekananda presented the traditional Vedic wisdom in a form that appeals to the new generation. He claimed that spirituality should be followed, with proper comprehension of the essence and not following blind worship, merely following rules without understanding them.
Swami
Vivekananda
says
“To
worship
is
inherent
in
every
man's
nature;
only
the
highest
philosophy
can
rise
to
pure
abstraction," He
says
that
it
is
fine
to
worship
God
in
any
form,
but
with
the
understanding
of
the
underlying
divinity
in
the
form
and
not
just
worshipping
the
form
by
itself.
Swamiji
narrates
a
short
story
that
reveals
the
aforesaid
truth.
A stag once boasted to about his horns its young one. “Look how beautiful and powerful my horns are! I can kill can human with these horns"
Just then they happened to hear the sound of hunters' bugle in a distance. They stag took to its heels with its young one following. When they reached a safer zone, the young one asked, “You said that you can kill any human with your powerful horns. But why did you run away at the sound of the bugle?"
The stag replied, “I know I have powerful horns, however when I hear that sound, something within me causes me to flee, forgetting the fact of my powerful horns!"
Swami Vivekananda points out in this short story, that when we hear the bugle sound of the rules laid down in the books, habits and old superstitions before we realise, we are bound by them, forgetting our true essence, which is freedom.
This yet another story of Swami Vivekananda that is inspiring.
