"This world is nothing. It is at best……" — Swami Vivekananda

"This world is nothing. It is at best only a hideous caricature, a shadow of the Real. We must go to the Real. Renunciation will take us to It. Renunciation is the very basis of our true life; every moment of goodness and real life that we enjoy is when we do not think of ourselves."

— Swami Vivekananda
