The poems and utterances of an illumined soul. They are tender cries of yearning; yet however profound the longing, there is always at the heart of it the certainty of God.
Why are people so afraid? The answer is that they have made themselves helpless and dependent on others. We are so lazy, we do not want to do anything ourselves. We want a Personal God, a Savior or a Prophet to do everything for us.
-Swami Vivekananda
