Let them whose gifts you will accept, give in their own name if they like, no harm. Whose name, and what is it worth? Who cares for name? Off with it! If in the attempt to carry morsels of food to starving mouths, name and possession and all be doomed even — thrice blessed art thou! It is the heart, the heart that conquers, not the brain.
- Swami Vivekananda
