SwamiVivekanadaQuotesin

Illustrious sages, like those that are of the Paramhansas level, like Swami
Vivekananda, Ramkrishna Paramhansa and Vedmurti Shriram Sharma Acharya
have all left us a legacy of great literature that is simply invaluable. Their Lives
are living examples of how to be Spiritual? Therefore it is pertinent to ask what
defined their Spirituality? How did they live such exemplary lives and
accomplish tasks of such extraordinary magnitude?

Each of them individually in their own lifetimes were voracious readers of great
books. Those who lived in close proximity with Pt.Shriram Sharma Acharya know
that he would read through multiple large texts in a short span of time and
remember it all.
Pt.Shriram Sharma Acharya wrote Literature greater than his own body weight.
All his texts are scientific in content and research validated. How was this
possible in a time when then internet was absent ? Similar was the prowess of
Swami Vivekananda. He could read through volumes the size of Encyclopedia
Britannica and remember it all !

In the words of these great sages themselves sexual continence is a great

enabler of energy, vitality and also of memory and concentration in people.
Sexual continence helps retain and enhance the vital "Prana" or energy in the
individual and that enables the accomplishment of a large body of work of extra
ordinary magnitude !
The enclosed passage emphasising this point is captured in a conversation
between Swami Vivekananda and his fellow disciple....

DO IT ANYWAY ! AN INSPIRING PRAYER by

People are often unreasonable and selfcentered.
Forgive them anyway.

"Despite his spare food and scanty sleep, Swamiji is very active. A few days ago,
a new set of the Encyclopaedia Britannica had been bought for the Math. Seeing
the new shining volumes, the disciple said to Swamiji, "It is almost impossible to
read all these books in a single lifetime." He was unaware that Swamiji had
already finished ten volumes and had begun the eleventh.
Swamiji: What do you say? Ask me anything you like from these ten volumes,
and I will answer you all.
The disciple asked in wonder, "Have you read all these books?"
Swamiji: Why should I ask you to question me otherwise?
Being examined, Swamiji not only reproduced the sense, but at places the very
language of the difficult topics selected from each volume. The disciple,
astonished, put aside the books, saying, "This is not within human power!"
Swamiji: Do you see, simply by the observance of strict Brahmacharya
(continence) all learning can be mastered in a very short time one has an
unfailing memory of what one hears or knows but once. It is owing to this want
of continence that everything is on the brink of ruin in our country.
Disciple: Whatever you may say, sir, the manifestation of such superhuman
power cannot be the result of mere Brahmacharya, something else there must
be.
Swamiji did not say anything in reply."
The subject of Chastity occurs frequently in Swami Vivekananda's Lectures
and Speeches. Enclosed below is a seperate excerpt from a letter written in
1894 once again emphasizing the connexion between chastity and

spirituality.
"I come back to the one, fundamental, vital point: 'Find God. Nothing else
matters.' He emphasized morality as the basis of the spiritual life. Without
truth, noninjury, continence, nonstealing, cleanliness, and austerity, he
repeated, there could be no spirituality.

The good you do today may be forgotten

tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never
be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God.

The subject of continence always stirred him deeply.Walking up and down the
room, getting more and more excited, he would stop before someone as if there
were no one else present. 'Don't you see,' he would say eagerly, 'there is a
reason why chastity is insisted on in all monastic orders?

It was never between you and them anyway.

Spiritual giants are produced only where the vow of chastity is observed. Don't
you see there must be a reason? There is a connexion between chastity and
spirituality. The explanation is that through prayer and meditation the saints
have transmuted the most vital force in the body into spiritual energy. In
India this is well understood and yogis do it consciously. The force so
transmuted is called Ojas, and it is stored up in the brain. It has been lifted
from the lowest centre to the highest. "And I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men
unto me."'
He would plead with the students as if to beg them to act upon this teaching as
something most precious. Further, they could not be the disciples he required if
they were not established in chastity. He demanded a conscious
transmutation.'The man who has no temper has nothing to control."
