LightThis poem forms a part of a letter that Swami Vivekananda wrote to Josephine MacLeod from Belur Math on December 26, 1900.
I look behind and after
And find that all is right,
In my deepest sorrows
There is a soul of light.
Through truth everything is attained. In truth everything is established.
Great occasions rouse even the lowest of human beings to some kind of greatness, but he alone is the really great man whose character is great always, the same wherever he be.
Awake! Awake! all ye who would drink of the divine nectar!
The only worship is love.
Anything that brings spiritual, mental, or physical weakness, touch it not with the toes of your feet.
All truth is eternal. Truth is nobody’s property; no race, no individual can lay any exclusive claim to it. Truth is the nature of all souls.
