Just as you would take up any other science, exactly in the same manner you should take up Raja Yoga for study. There is neither mystery nor danger in it. So far as it is true, it ought to be preached in the public streets, in broad daylight. Any attempt to mystify these things is productive of great danger.
From Swamiji’s book “Raja Yoga,” Chapter One, “Introductory.” Complete Works, 1. 134.
Navagopal Ghosh was another devotee. On his first visit he came to Dakshineswar with his wife and children. The Master was greatly attracted towards them. Navagopal did not repeat the visit and forgot all about the Master for three years. One day Sri Ramakrishna asked about him and sent an invitation to him to come to Dakshineswar.
When the news reached Navagopal he was amazed to think that Sri Ramakrishna still remembered him. He went to Dakshineswar and was cordially received. This time Navagopal was charmed with the personality of the Master, who told him that he did not need much spiritual discipline, and that by coming to Dakshineswar he would attain the goal. Navagopal and his whole family became greatly attached to Sri Ramakrishna and often came to Dakshineswar. One day when the Master was in a semi-conscious state, Ramchandra Dutt told Navagopal to pray to him for any boon he liked.
Navagopal prostrated himself before the Master and said, “I am immersed in worldliness, kindly tell me how I may get out of it.”
“Don't worry,” replied the Master, “ remember me once a day if you can do nothing else.”
In our everyday life we find that the less the sense-enjoyments, the higher the life of the person. Look at the dog when he eats. No human being ever ate with the same satisfaction. Observe the pig giving grunts of satisfaction as he eats; it is his heaven, and if the greatest archangel came and looked on, the pig would not even notice him. His whole existence is in his eating. No human being was ever born who could eat that way.
Think of the power of hearing in animals, the power of seeing—all their senses are highly developed. Their enjoyment of the senses is extreme. They become simply mad with delight and pleasure. And the lower we are also, the more delight we find in the senses. As we evolve, the goal becomes reason and love. In proportion as these faculties develop, we lose the power of enjoying the senses.
Addresses on Bhakti Yoga: The First Steps (New York: December 16, 1895). Complete Works, 4. 13.

All our ideas of law are due to association. A series of phenomena becomes associated with things in our mind in a sort of invariable order, so that whatever we perceive at any time is immediately referred to other facts in the mind. Any one idea or, according to our psychology, any one wave that is produced in the mind, must always give rise to many similar waves. This is the psychological idea of association, and causation is only an aspect of this grand pervasive principle of association.
Class on Karma Yoga. New York, January 10, 1896. Complete Works, 1. 94. Swamiji is referring to the laws of nature.
The Timeline of Western
Philosophy. The Ultimate History to Western Philosophy.
This is the first episode in a
multipart series on the history of Western Philosophy. This took a tragically
large amount of time to produce and I'm hoping all of you really appreciate it.
In this episode we will
explore the origins of philosophy and outline this series intentions. So to
serve this end, we’ll split up different philosophers into eras. There’s a good
deal of overlap here, especially the closer we get to present day, but there’s
definitely something to be gained from telling a certain story about the
history of philosophy.
Pre-Socratics
We’ll begin with the
beginning, with a group of Greeks and Mediterraneans that started asking the
big questions. What’s going on? Who are we? Why? Their ideas might seem
primitive at first, but they are the key to everything which follows.
The Ancients
Right after them come the big
hitters, the names you’ve probably heard like Plato and Aristotle. These guys
are the ones who really created the tradition and set the terms and ideas that
would dominate the thousands of years of thinking to follow.
The Prophets
We’ll then take a step back
and a few forward by looking at the religious beliefs and thinkers that will
completely change the terms of philosophy. During this time, there’s a little
guy named Jesus Christ who sorta becomes a big deal.
The Medieval
Such a big deal that his life
and the church that followed him would completely determine the Medieval
thinkers that came next. These thinkers would use Christianity as a
philosophical tool for understanding the universe.
The Reformers and
Revolutionaries
After the Dark Ages, comes a
burst of light in the reformers and revolutionaries of the Protestant and
Scientific revolutions. We’ll see how changes in religion and knowledge
permanently change philosophy.
The Moderns
With the world forever
changed, Modern men start producing modern thoughts. We’ll explore their
beliefs, their thoughts, and their great hairdos.
The Empiricists
Science and modern philosophy
expand with a new type of knowledge of the world. We’ll spend most of our time
this episode on the British Isles taking a stab at some of the Empiricist
thinkers. We won’t forget to make room for tea time.
The Idealists
Trying to solve some of the
riddles from their Anglo-Saxon brethren, the continental Germans will transcend
the thinker of their day. These idealists would contribute the biggest
breakthroughs in philosophy since perhaps the ancient days.
The Analytic
But some of their thoughts and
writing are a little loose-goosey and not properly structured. Analytic
thinking comes forth trying to solve some of philosophy’s riddles with logic
and mathematics.
The Continental
But not everyone will want
philosophy to be about logic and linguistics. Thinkers mostly from Continental
Europe will start to rethink what it means to be part of the world. Things get
pretty existential.
Contemporary
And then finally, we’ll arrive
at where we are today. What does modern philosophy look like? Where’s it going?
That about does it for this
episode. Next time we will take a look at the group of thinkers that came
before Socrates. These thinkers, the Pre-Socratics are responsible for many
things, not least of which is the formula we all learn in first year
trigonometry. I’ll do my best to make the next episode more interesting than
triangles though. No promises.

This is what people close say about me: “Misfit, Dreamer, Impractical, Champion of lost causes, Always Wrong” etc. etc. Maybe they are right, maybe not. What do I think of myself? I am trying to find out.
