Swami Vivekananda, one of the famous mystique of Hindu monism and proponent of advaida or pantheism held
the view that human beings are not sinful but divine. He says in many of his works that ,"It is sin to call man a
sinner".He says that those who call man a sinner are not looking at the good aspects of human beings.
Well nothing can be father from the truth. Take for example sewage water and drinking water. Drinking water is
clean so let us keep it sinless and sewage as sin. So now lets add a little bit of sewage to clean drinking water.
Now it contains a mixture of drinking water and sewage. If I ask you to drink that water claiming that you have to
consider the percentage of clean water and not consider the sewage in it ,will you drink it. No ,you will not
because, you know it is unfit for drinking and needs treatment to purify it.
Denying the fact that man is a sinner is not the solution to the problem of present and prevalent evil and
sinfulness.Only if you accept your sinfulness can u give yourself to God and Lord JESUS so that he can purify you
and make you fit and set for living life to the fullest.
Jesus said in John 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and
have it abundantly."
That is one of Jesus' Mission ,stating why he came. Why? That you may have life and have it abundantly.
The life he talks about here is the divine life ,the Holy spirit who will take residence in you when you accept him
and the outworking of that divine life manifesting as love for God and fellow humans which is holy and
acceptable to God.
Swami Vivekananda is one of those many thieves who have plundered India with their wrong teachings of
monism and fatalism. Many people read his books and accept it as such without ever questioning it. This
wrong teaching about man's inherent condition is just one of the many lies from the thief who has shown many a
way to hell.
Jesus said,"I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep". That's exactly what he
did.
