Why are people so afraid? The answer is that they have made themselves helpless and dependent on others. We are so lazy, we do not want to do anythin… - Swami Vivekananda

Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this divinity by controlling nature, external and internal. Do this either by work, or worship, or psychic control, or philosophy - by one, or more, or all of these - and be free. This is the whole of religion. Doctrines, or dogmas, or rituals, or books, or temples, or forms, are but secondary details.

Have you got the will to surmount mountain-high obstructions? If the whole world stands against you sword in hand, would you still dare to do what you think is right?

We may talk and reason all our lives, but we shall not understand a word of truth, until we experience it ourselves.
