“When the blessed Spirit, that bloweth where it listeth, visits you and stirs the plumage of the soul, seek no cowardly shelter from it, but fling yourself upon it, and, though its sweep be awful, you shall be sustained. Only do this, do all, not in presumptuous daring, but in divine submission; in dependence, not on any strength that can be spent, but on the ever-living stay of all that trust in Him.” SoulSpiritDivineBlessedAwfulDaringShelterDependenceSubmissionCowardlyFlingPresumptuousVisits You Book:A Martineau year book: Extracts from sermons Source: A Martineau year book: Extracts from sermons
“Whether dualistic, qualified monistic, or monistic, they all firmly believe that everything is in the soul itself; it has only to come out and manifest itself. Therefore, this shraddha is what I want, and what all of us here want, this faith in ourselves, and before you is the great task to get that faith. Give up the awful disease that is creeping, into our national blood, that idea of ridiculing everything, that loss of seriousness. Give that up. Be strong and have this shraddha, and everything else is bound to follow.” WantGivingBelieveIdeasSoulStrongLossBloodDiseaseGiving UpTasksBoundsAwfulManifestQualifiedSeriousness Author:Swami Vivekananda
