Crafts Quote by Swami Vivekananda
“Each one of us pray, day and night, for the downtrodden millions in India, who are held fast by poverty, priest craft, and tyranny - pray day and night for them. I am no meta physician, no philosopher, nay, no saint. But I am poor, I love the poor… Let these people be your God - think of them, work for them, pray for them incessantly - the Lord will show you the way.”
