Learn to feel yourself in other bodies, to know that we are all one. Throw all other nonsense to the winds. Spit out your actions, good or bad, and never think of them again. What is done is done. Throw off superstition. Have no weakness even in the face of death. Be free.
SWAMI VIVEKANANDAMan’s experience in the world is to enable him to get out of its whirlpool.
