Explain the views of swami vivekananda on religion
Answers
Answer:
the swami Vivekananda is belong to Hindu religion
Explanation:
Swami Vivekananda, as he was one of the greatest followers of Hinduism, was religiously very tolerant and was quite universal in his religious views. He had a great respect for every religion, their books as well as great personalities of other religions like Prophet, Jesus or Buddha.
Here are some of his views on Religion and Ethics:
Do you know from the history of the world where the power of the prophets lay? Where was it? In the intellect? Did any of them write a fine book on philosophy, on the most intricate ratiocination of logic? Not one of them. They only spoke a few words. Feel like Christ and you will be a Christ; feel like Buddha and you will be a Buddha. It is feeling that is the life, the strength, the vitality, without which no amount of intellectual activity can reach God.
In one word, the ideal of Vedanta is to know man as he really is, and this is its message, that if you cannot worship your brother man, the manifested God, how can you worship a God who is unmanifested?
If you are really pure, how do you see the impure? For what is within, is without. We cannot see impurity without having it inside ourselves. This is one of the practical sides of Vedanta, we shall all try to carry it into our lives.
The secret of religion lies not in theories but in practice. To be good and to do good - that is whole of religion. ‘Not he that crieth “Lord”, “Lord”, but he that doeth the will of the father.’
The basic aim of religion is to bring peace to man. It is not a wise thing for one to suffer in this life so that one can be happy in the next. One must be happy here and now. Any religion that can bring that about is the true religion for humanity.
Whenever any religion succeeds, it must have economic value. Man is guided by his stomach . He walks and the stomach goes first and the head afterwards. Have you not seen that? It will take ages for the head to go first…
