MIND YOU, THE GREAT BENEFIT IN THIS LIFE IS STRUGGLE. IT IS THROUGH THAT WE PASS. - I AM THE END, MY OWN SELF, AND NOTHING ELSE......


It is not truth, but development, that is the great aim. The struggle is the great lesson. Mind you, the great benefit in this life is struggle. It is through that we pass. If there is any road to Heaven, it is through Hell. Through Hell to Heaven is always the way. When the soul has wrestled with circumstance and has met death, a thousand times death on the way, but nothing daunted has struggled forward again and again and yet again—then the soul comes out as a giant and laughs at the ideal he has been struggling for, because he finds how much greater is he than the ideal. I am the end, my own Self, and nothing else…

- Swami Vivekananda
