LIFE IS SHORT, BUT THE SOUL IS IMMORTAL AND ETERAL

Life is short, but the soul is immortal and eternal, and one thing being certain, death, let us therefore take up a great ideal and give up our whole life to it. Let this be our determination, and may He, the Lord, who "comes again and again for the salvation of His own people", to quote from our scriptures — may the great Krishna bless us and lead us all to the fulfilment of our aims! - Swami Vivekananda The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda/Volume 3/Lectures from Colombo to Almora/The Future of India
