““You know, my children,” Swamiji said, “skepticism is not always healthy. We all think we are individuals, protecting ourselves against attacks from outside. But in this vast universe, we are nothing but tiny clusters of microcosms. Our problems are not unique. What has happened to you has happened to mankind countless times. If you hang on to your unique pain, you are wearing self-applied shackles. The future, my children, is nothing but the past.””
