THEN, WHATEVER MAY BE THE MEASURE OF YOUR SUCCESS, YOU WILL HAVE THIS SATISFACTION THAT YOU HAVE LIVED, WORKED, AND DIEAD FOR A GREAT CAUSE


 Work out the salvation of this land and of the whole world, each of you thinking that the entire b...urden is on your shoulders. Carry the light and the life of the Vedanta to every door, and rouse up the divinity that is hidden within every soul. Then, whatever may be the measure of your success, you will have this satisfaction that you have lived, worked, and died for a great cause. In the success of this cause, howsoever brought about, is centred the salvation of humanity here and hereafter.
