# The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night/The Man Who Saw the Night of Power

Second-level story, contained in The Malice of Women
THE MAN WHO SAW THE NIGHT OF POWER.
A certain man had longed all his life to look upon the Night of Power, and it befell that, one night, he looked up at the sky and saw the angels and Heaven’s gates opened and beheld all things in the act of prostration before their Lord, each in its several room. So he said to his wife, “Harkye, such an one, God hath shown me the Night of Power, and it hath been proclaimed to me, from the invisible world, that three prayers will be granted unto me; so do thou counsel me what I shall ask.” Quoth she, “O man, the perfection of man and his delight is in his yard; so do thou pray God to greaten thy yard and magnify it.” So he lifted up his hands to heaven and said, “O my God, greaten my yard and magnify it.” Hardly ​had he spoken when his yard became as big as a calabash and he could neither sit nor stand nor move; and when he would have lain with his wife, she fled before him from place to place. So he said to her, “O accursed woman, what is to be done? This is thy wish, by reason of thy lust.” “Nay, by Allah,” answered she; “I did not ask for this huge bulk, for which the gate of a street were too strait. Pray God to make it less.” So he raised his eyes to heaven and said, “O my God, rid me of this thing and deliver me therefrom.” And immediately his yard disappeared altogether and he became smooth [like a woman]. When his wife saw this, she said, ‘I have no occasion for thee, now thou art become yardless;” and he answered her, saying, “All this comes of thine own ill-omened counsel and the infirmity of thy judgment. I had three prayers accepted of God, wherewith I might have gotten me my good, both in this world and the next, and now two are gone in pure waste, by thy lewd wish, and there remaineth but one.” Quoth she, “Pray God the Most High to restore thee thy yard as it was.” So he prayed to his Lord and his yard was restored to its first case. Thus the man lost his three wishes by the ill counsel and lack of sense of the woman;

# The Collapse of the Second International/Chapter 1

The Collapse of the Second International.
CHAPTER I.
Introductory.
By the collapse of the International is sometimes meant the interruption of the intercourse between the Socialist parties of the warring countries, the suspension of the meetings of the International Socialist bureau, Inter­national Congresses, and so forth. This is the viewpoint of some Socialists, perhaps of the majority of the offcial parties and especially of the opportunists and their supporters.
In the Russian press (vide: The Information Leaflet of the "Bund") Kossovsky takes up the defence of this view with a frankness that deserves our heartfelt gratitude. Nevertheless, the editors fail to indicate their disagreement with the author’s viewpoint. Kos­sovsky went so far as to justify the German Social-Democrats who voted the war-credits. Let us hope that his defence of Nationalism will open the eyes of many workmen as to the capitalist-nationalist outlook of the "Bund."
Tо class-conscious workers, Socialism is a serious conviction and is not a cloak to cover up conciliatory middle-class aspirations or opposition to the Government along Nationalist lines. By the collapse of the International, these workers mean the scandalous betrayal by a majority of the official Social-Democratic parties of their convictions and solemn declarations made at the International Socialist Congresses of Stutt­gart and Basle, and embodied in resolutions passed at these congresses. Only those fail to see this treason who do not wish to see it. Only those refuse to observe this betrayal whose interests are bound up in not recognising it.
​Looking at the matter scientifically, i.e., from the viewpoint of the relationship of the different classes in modern society, we are obliged to say that the majority of the social democratic parties went over to the side of the rulers’ general staffs and governments in opposition to the working class. The lead in this direc­tion was given by the German social democracy, which was the largest and most influential party in the second International. This event is of world-historic impor­tance, and we propose to subject it to a searching analysis.
We recognise that wars, despite the horrors and calamities which they breed, are more or less useful in so far as they reveal and make for the destruction of much that is rotten and obsolete within social insti­tutions. Further, the European war has done mankind a service, because it has revealed the undoubted weak­nesses inherent in organisations of the working class. And the European war has already demonstrated that a loathsome cancer is gnawing at the very vitals of the Labour movement—a cancer as dangerous as it is evil smelling.

# The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda/Volume 7/Epistles - Third Series/XX Adhyapakji

XX
17 BEACON STREET, BOSTON,
May, 1894.
DEAR ADHYAPAKJI (Prof. John Henry Wright),
By this time you have got the pamphlet and the letters. If you like, I would send you over from Chicago some letters from Indian Princes and ministers — one of these ministers was one of the Commissioners of the late opium commission that sat under Royal Commission in India. If you like, I will have them write to you to convince you of my not being a cheat. But, my brother, our ideal of life is to hide, to suppress, and to deny.
We are to give up and not to take. Had I not the "Fad" in my head, I would never have come over here. And it was with a hope that it would help my cause that I joined the Parliament of Religions — having always refused it when our people wanted to send me for it. I came over telling them — "that I may or may not join that assembly — and you may send me over if you like". They sent me over leaving me quite free.
You did the rest.
I am morally bound to afford you every satisfaction, my kind friend; but for the rest of the world I do not care what they say — the Sannyasin must not have self-defence. So I beg of you not to publish or show anybody anything in that pamphlet or the letters. I do not care for the attempts of the old missionary; but the fever of jealousy which attacked Mazoomdar gave me a terrible shock, and I pray that he would know better — for he is a great and good man who has tried all his life to do good. But this proves one of my Master's sayings, "Living in a room covered with black soot — however careful you may be — some spots must stick to your clothes." So, however one may try to be good and holy, so long he is in the world, some part of his nature must gravitate downwards.
The way to God is the opposite to that of the world. And to few, very few, are given to have God and mammon at the same time.
I was never a missionary, nor ever would be one — my place is in the Himalayas. I have satisfied myself so far that I can with a full conscience say, "My God, I saw terrible misery amongst my brethren; I searched and discovered the way out of it, tried my best to apply the remedy, but failed. So Thy will be done."
May his blessings be on you and yours for ever and ever.
Yours affectionately,
VIVEKANANDA.
541 DEARBORN AVE., CHICAGO
I go to Chicago tomorrow or day after.
Yours
V.
# The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda/Volume 7/Inspired Talks/Friday, July 26

(RECORDED BY MISS S. E. WALDO, A DISCIPLE)
FRIDAY, July 26, 1895. (Brihadâranyakopanishad.)
Love all things only through and for the Self. Yâjnavalkya said to Maitreyi, his wife, "Through the Atman we know all things." The Atman can never be the object of knowledge, nor can the Knower be known. He who knows he is the Atman, he is law unto himself. He knows he is the universe and its creator. . . .
Perpetuating old myths in the form of allegories and giving them undue importance fosters superstition and is really weakness. Truth must have no compromise. Teach truth and make no apology for any superstition; neither drag truth to the level of the listener.
# The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda/Volume 7/Inspired Talks/Friday, July 5

(RECORDED BY MISS S. E. WALDO, A DISCIPLE)
FRIDAY, July 5, 1895.
Until you are ready to change any minute, you can never see the truth; but you must hold fast and be steady in the search for truth. . . .
Chârvâkas, a very ancient sect in India, were rank materialists. They have died out now, and most of their books are lost. They claimed that the soul, being the product of the body and its forces, died with it; that there was no proof of its further existence. They denied inferential knowledge accepting only perception by the senses.
Samâdhi is when the Divine and human are in one, or it is "bringing sameness". . . .
Materialism says, the voice of freedom is a delusion. Idealism says, the voice that tells of bondage is delusion. Vedanta says, you are free and not free at the same time — never free on the earthly plane, but ever free on the spiritual.
Be beyond both freedom and bondage.
We are Shiva, we are immortal knowledge beyond the senses.
Infinite power is back of everyone; pray to Mother, and it will come to you.
"O Mother, giver of Vâk (eloquence), Thou self-existent, come as the Vak upon my-lips," (Hindu invocation).
"That Mother whose voice is in the thunder, come Thou in me! Kali, Thou time eternal, Thou force irresistible, Shakti, Power!"

BELOVED RAKHAL,
. . . I am now in New York City. The city is hot in summer, exactly like Calcutta. You perspire profusely, and there is not a breath of air. I made a tour in the north for a couple of months. Please answer this letter by return of post to England, for which I shall start before this will have reached you.

FRIDAY, June 28, 1895. (The entire party went on a picnic for the day, and although the Swami taught constantly, as he did wherever he was, no notes were taken and no record, therefore, of what he said remains. As he began his breakfast before setting out, however, he remarked:)
Be thankful for all food, it is Brahman. His universal energy is transmuted into our individual energy and helps us in all that we do.

# The Collected Works of Theodore Parker/Volume 02/Ten Sermons of Religion/Preface

PREFACE.
​ Sometimes the reader will find the same fundamental idea reappearing under various forms, in several places of this book; and may perhaps also see the reason thereof in the fact, that it is the primeval Rock on which the whole thing rests, and of necessity touches the heavens in the highest mountains, and, receiving thence, gives water to the deepest wells which bottom thereon.
I believe there are great Truths in this book,—both those of a purely intellectual character, and those, much more important, which belong to other faculties nobler than the mere intellect; truths, also, which men need, and, as I think, at this time greatly need. But I fear that I have not the artistic skill so to present these needful truths that a large body of men shall speedily welcome them; perhaps not the attractive voice which can win its way through the commercial, political, and ecclesiastical noises of the time, and reach the ears of any multitude.
Errors there must be also in this book. I wish they might be nailed out and blown away; and shall not complain if it be done even by a rough wind, so that the precious Truths be left unbroke and clean after this winnowing, as bread-stuff for to-day, or as seed-corn for seasons yet to come.
