IN THINGS OF THE SPIRIT WE ARE THE TEACHERS BUT IN THINGS OF THE WORLD WE OUGHT TO LEARN FROM THEM





" By the by, Mrs. Annie Besant invited me to speak at her Lodge, on Bhakti. I lectured there one night. Col. Olcott also was there. I did it to show my sympathy for all sects. . . . Our countrymen must remember that in things of the Spirit we are the teachers, and not foreigners — but in things of the world we ought to learn from them "


- Swami Vivekananda
Switzerland, 8th August, 1896.
