LET MISERIES COME IN MILLIONS OF RIVERS AND HAPPINESS IN HUNDREDS! I AM NO SLAVE TO MISERY! I AM NO SLAVE TO HAPPINESS!!


"As all the rivers of the world constantly pour their waters into the ocean, but the ocean's grand, majestic nature remains undisturbed and unchanged, so even though all the senses bring in sensations from nature, the ocean-like heart of the sage knows no disturbance, knows no fear." Let miseries come in millions of rivers and happiness in hundreds! I am no slave to misery! I am no slave to happiness!
- Swami Vivekananda
