The Quest for Human Unity: A Multi-Layered Approach
A Compilation
This collection of papers represents a selection of lectures delivered at different times as part of the UNESCO suppported programme on International Understanding for Human Unity, which was launched in September 2005 by the Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture.
The important thing is how much less you think of the body, of yourself as matter -- as dead, dull, insentient matter; how much more you think of yourself as shining immortal being. The more you think of yourself as spirit, the more eager you will be to be absolutely free from matter, body and senses. This is the intense desire to be free.
-Swami Vivekananda
