Fom time immemorial, India produced many great saints and sages, who demonstrated through their lives, the characteristics of a perfect man. The light emitting from them cleared the path for many struggling souls and showered the nectar of peace and happiness on them. The study of these great lives and their teachings will certainly be a source of inspiration to every one.
If a piece of burning charcoal be placed on a man's head, see how he struggles to throw it off. Similar will be the struggle for freedom of those who really understand that they are slaves of nature.
-Swami Vivekananda
