This universe is the wreckage of the infinite on the shores of the finite. - Swami Vivekananda

The goal of mankind is knowledge. . . . Now this knowledge is inherent in man. No knowledge comes from outside: it is all inside. What we say a man "knows," should, in strict psychological language, be what he "discovers" or "unveils"; what man "learns" is really what he discovers by taking the cover off his own soul, which is a mine of infinite knowledge.

The Land where humanity has attained its highest towards gentleness, towards generosity, towards purity, towards calmness - it is India.

The great secret of true success, of true happiness, is this: the man or woman who asks for no return, the perfectly unselfish person, is the most successful.
