It is the Level-headed Man, the Calm Man, of Good Judgement and cool nerves, of Great sympathy and love, who does good work and so does good to himse… - Swami Vivekananda

The essence of Vedanta is that there is but one Being and that every soul is that Being in full, not a part of that Being.

You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.

Ignorance is the mother of all the evil and all the misery we see. Let men have light, let them be pure and spiritually strong and educated, then alone will misery cease in the world, not before. We may convert every house in the country into a charity asylum, we may fill the land with hospitals, but the misery of man will still continue to exist until man's character changes.
