Worship of Living God.

The secret of religion lies not in theories but in practice. To be good and to do good--that is the whole of religion. 'Not he that crieth "Lord", "Lord", but he that doeth that will of the Father.'
Be moral. Be brave. Be a heart-whole man. Strictly moral, brave unto desperation. Don't bother your head with religious theories. Cowards only sin, brave men never, no, not even in mind.
If you are really pure, how do you see the impure ? For what is within, is withoug. We cannot see impurity without having it inside ourselves. this is one of the practical sides of Vedanta, and I hope that we shall all try to carry it into our lives.
Doing good to others is virtue (Dharma or Religion); injuring others is sin. Strength and manliness are virtue; weakness and cowardice are sin. Independence is virtue; dependence is sin. Loving others is virtue; hating others is sin. Faith is God and in one's own Self is virtue; doubt is sin. Knowledge of oneness is virtue ; seeing diversity is sin.
The watcword of all well-being, of all moral good is not 'I' but 'Thou'. Who cares whether there is a heaven or a hell, whocares if there is a soul or not, who cares if there is an unchangeable or not ? Here is the world, and it is full of misery. Go out into it as Buddha did, and struggle to lessen it or die in the attempt. forget yourselves ; this is the first lesson to be learnt, whether you are a theist or an atheist, whether you are an agnostic or a Vedantist, a Christian or a Mohammedan. The one lesson obvious to all the destruction of the little self and the building up ;of the Real Self.
After so muchausterity, I have understood this as the real truth -- God is present in every living being; there is no other God besides that. ' Who serves all the living beings, serves God indeed.'

These are His manifold forms before thee,
Rejecting them, where seekest thou for God?
Who loves all beings, without distinction,
He indeed is worshipping best his God
(Swami Vivekananda)
