VEDANTA IN ITS APPLICATION TO INDIAN LIFE – 35
Whatever they may talk, however they may try to boast, they will find out day after day that no society can stand without admitting this. Do you not find how everything is being revolutionized? Do you not see how it was the custom to take for granted that everything was wicked until it proved itself good? In education, in punishing criminals, in treating lunatics, in the treatment of common diseases even, that was the old law.
Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda – Vol. III P. 239
“Is there, then, no hope for householders?”
Sri Ramakrishna: “Certainly there is. They must practice spiritual discipline in solitude for some days. Thus they will acquire knowledge and devotion. Then it will not hurt them to lead the life of the world. But when you practice discipline in solitude, keep yourself entirely away from your family. You must not allow your wife, son, daughter, mother, father, sister, brother, friends, or relatives near you. While thus practising discipline in solitude, you should think: ‘I have no one else in the world. God is my all.’ You must also pray to Him, with tears in your eyes, for knowledge and devotion.”
The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna – P. 313
