New life for Vivekananda - The Times of India: "Vivekananda's work was mainly occupied with revealing the transcendent. He left many inspiring reminders to point us in the right direction: '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.'
'You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.' And, 'The goal of mankind is knowledge ... No knowledge comes from outside: it is all inside.'
Reminders in this case are actually goads to action. The first duty of every person is to develop a true self. This cannot be done without the inner knowing that Vivekananda embodied as did Vedic sages. The time is always right for transcendence. No worldly accomplishments are substitutes nor as worthy as the project of developing a true self. The best way to honour Vivekananda begins at this very moment, with each of us."
