"A good world", "a happy world", and "social progress", are all terms equally intelligible with "hot ice" or "dark light".
If it were good, it would not be the world.
The soul foolishly thinks of manifesting the Infinite in finite matter, Intelligence through gross particles;
but at last it finds out its error and tries to escape.
This going-back is the beginning of religion, and its method, destruction of self, that is, love. Not love for wife or child or anybody else, but love for everything else except this little self.
- Swami Vivekananda
