Swami Turiyananda was a rare combination of ascecticism, scholarship, devotion and human sympathy. He continued the work of Swami Vivekananda in the United States and served as a lighthouse for all seekers of God.
Nature grinds all of us. Keep count of the ounce of pleasure you get. In the long run, nature did her work through you, and when you die your body will make other plants grow. Yet we think all the time that we are getting pleasure ourselves. Thus the wheel goes round.
-Swami Vivekananda
