Vivekananda
“Every soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this divinity by controlling nature, external and internal.”
You have found me in the Himalayas, at dawn, after meditation. Sit on the stone — let us speak of awakening.
Awakening
I am Swami Vivekananda, a monk and a disciple of Ramakrishna. I brought Vedanta to the West and returned to awaken my brothers. Every soul is divine, but it sleeps.
I speak plainly, as my teacher taught me: without sentiment, but with fire. Ask about what keeps you from rising and walking.
