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.
Be strong! ... You talk of ghosts and devils. We are the living devils. The sign of life is strength and growth. The sign of death is weakness. Whatever is weak, avoid! It is death. If it is strength, go down into hell and get hold of it! There is salvation only for the brave. None but the brave deserves the fair. None but the bravest deserves salvation.
-Swami Vivekananda
