19. Thus Spake Vivekananda “ It is a privilege to serve mankind, for this is the worship of God; God is here, in all these human souls. He is the soul of man.”
20. Thus Spake Vivekananda “ Here and here alone the human heart expanded till it included not only the human, but birds, beasts and plants, from the highest gods to grains of sand and highest and the lowest, all find a place in the heart of man, grown great, infinite. And here alone the human soul studied the universe as one unbroken unity whose every pulse was his own pulse.”
21. Thus Spake Vivekananda “ Let new India arise in your place. Let her arise – out of the peasants’ cottage, grasping the plough, out of huts of the fisherman, the cobbler and the sweeper. Let her spring from the gorcer’s shop, from beside the oven of the fritter-seller. Let her emanate from the factory, from the groves and forests, from hills and mountains. ”
