Swami Vvekananda Works Volume -4. Lectures and Discourses THOUGHTS ON THE GITA ======================================================= THOUGHTS ON THE GITA: During his sojourn in Calcutta in 1897, Swami Vivekananda used to stay for the most part at the Math, the headquarters of the Ramakrisnna Mission, located then at Alambazar.

STEPS OF HINDU PHILOSOPHIC THOUGHT : 10.

As such, God has become the whole of this universe and there is no going against it. And when these other people say that God is the soul, and the universe is the body, and the body is changing, but God is changeless, the non-dualists say, all this is nonsense. In that case what is the use of calling God the material cause of this universe? The material cause is the cause become effect; the effect is nothing but the cause in another form.
