Swami Vivekananda and the Erasing of the Dividing Line
Swami Ranganathananda
This is a deeply insightful piece of writing by Swami Ranganathanandaji, the late thirteenth President of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission. Originally titled 'Swami Vivekananda and the Future of India', this article was written on that fateful day, 15 August 1947, and contributed to the Pakistan Independence Day special issue of The Daily Gazette of Karachi, Pakistan. In these pages is evident the loftiness of the Swamis historical vision, and its relevance stands undimmed even after six decades.
Realize your true nature. That is all there is to do. Know yourself as you are -- infinite spirit. That is practical religion. Everything else is impractical, for everything else will perish.
-Swami Vivekananda
