‘The so-called great men of the world may all be seen to become jealous of each other for a small name, for a little fame, and for a few bits of gold...' -
-(SWAMI VIVEKANANDA)
’To the vast majority of mankind, the body is everything; the body is all the universe to them; bodily enjoyment is their all in all...We may indulge in tall talk, and take very high flights, but we are all vultures all the same; our mind is directed to the piece of carrion down below.’
- SWAMI VIVEKANANDA
‘The life of an ordinary man follows a well-marked line development, almost a routine good for everybody. The pattern is familiar, you can even foresee and foretell the future and destiny of person. You start as a student, join a school, go up to the college, after passing out you choose a profession, become an engineer or doctor or businessman or something well recognised like that , then you continue to stick to the job you have chosen: you become a rich man or if you are unfortunate a poor man, anyhow go through the experience of the life allotted to you, you become old, have children, grand-children and then pass away; that is the ordinary course of life. In Sri Aurobindo life has a different line, movement and procedure (Nolini Kanta Gupta on Sri Aurobindo)
