Tenets of Swami Vivekananda’s Universal Religion:
- 1. DO NOT DESTROY but build
- 2. Afford opportunities and remove obstacles – let man learn himself – from his within (soul)
- 3. All are on the radii of a circle approaching the center = GOD.
- 4. Recognize 4 types of mind:
a. Worker (Active)
b. Emotional (Love/Devotion)
c. Mystic (mind)
d. Philosopher (intellect)
- 5. Practice + Attain Yoga :
a.

Worker == union with whole humanity == attachment - pain

- 6. Anyone who develops only one or two types of element of the 4 characters are termed “one sided”
- 7. Do this by work, or worship, or psychic control or philosophy, by one or more or all of these and be free. By all of these present in full == The Perfect Man . Be harmoniously balanced.
