IT IS NOT THE WORK OF A DAY, AND THE PATH IS FULL OF THE MOST DEADLY THORNS


" It is not the work of a day, and the path is full of the most deadly thorns. But Parthasarathi is ready to be our Sârathi — we know that. And in His name and with eternal faith in Him, set fire to the mountain of misery that has been heaped upon India for ages — and it shall be burned down. Come then, look it in the face, brethren, it is a grand task, and we are so low. Glory unto the Lord, we will succeed. Hundreds will fall in the struggle, hundreds will be ready to take it up. I may die here unsuccessful, another will take up the task "

- Swami Vivekananda
Breezy Meadows, Metcalf, Mass., 20th August, 1893.
