The Advaita is the eternal mine of strength. But it requires to be applied. It must first be cleared of the incrustation of scholasticism, and then in all its simplicity, beauty and sublimity be taught over the length and breadth of the land, as applied even to the minutest detail of daily life.

THE HEADQUARTERS

This Math will be the central institution for the practice of religion and the cultivation of knowledge. The spiritual force emanating from here will permeate the whole world, turning the currents of men’s activities and aspirations into new channels.

From here will be disseminated ideals harmonizing Jnana, Bhakti, Yoga and Karma. The time will come when by the mere will of the sannyasis of this Math, life will vibrate into the deadened souls of men.

All these visions are rising before me.

That is my life’s work.

The mind is the key to everything. Without the mind, we cannot accomplish anything. All our sense organs need the mind to complete the process of gathering information or knowledge from the outside world. The human mind is indeed a fine instrument. But, this is only the positive side. When one tries to use [...]

A Crowd of Fools

December 5, 2018

It is in the very human nature to strive for excellence. All human pursuits are geared up for attaining excellence. Even an apparently lazy person wants to excel in the pursuit of laziness and goes to great lengths to prove that it is quite possible to live a life without doing any kind of practical work! [...]
