The Spiritual Ideals of William Wordsworth, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Swami Vivekananda for Emancipation and Redemption of Humanity

Abstract

      Humanity is progressing by leaps and bounds. The inventions and discoveries in the scientific field have empowered humankind outwardly. Nature has gifted human beings the divine puissance to aspire and supersede the inconscient range of mind. Once again there is an opportunity and the call of time to rise above the mundane to establish peace and integrity in the world. The natural right of every individual for a perfect survival is the divine design of nature. The life; dignified, peaceful, healthy and equal in every aspect is the goal to be attained by humankind. The achievement of the best life goals by safeguarding the natural human rights is essential for peoples residing on the planet. The apostles of knowledge William Wordsworth, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Swami Vivekananda have worked tirelessly to achieve the goal which is to preserve the fundamental rights of every individual without any discrimination. The paper endeavours to highlight the ideals of Wordsworth, Emerson and Vivekananda for achieving spiritual living in matter. According to them, the utilitarian mind of man has attained all kinds of material comforts and has only added to its agony. The urgent need of the day is to come out of the worldly camouflage. The latent power which operates through nature leads human beings towards the transcendent state which is free from earthly bondages.

    For the purpose, this paper is an effort to present the spiritual deliberations of Wordsworth, Emerson and Vivekananda which can pave the path for transmutation of mundane to spiritual in strengthening each individual completely. They enumerate that humanity is striving to up rise beyond transitoriness.  The whole world is in the process of transfiguration. The spirit revealed in cosmic mind, life and matter seems to construct its own conscious energy for evolution of man’s knowledge which leads towards the freedom and liberation of the whole humanity.
