Inequality - Bane of Human Nature

This is the bane of human nature, the curse upon mankind, the root of all misery -- this inequality. This is the source of all bondage, physical, mental, and spiritual. 

   समं पश्यन् हि सर्वत्र समवस्थितमीश्वरम् | 
   न हिनस्त्यात्मनात्मानं ततो याति परां गतिम् ||  
   --"Since seeing the Lord equally existent everywhere, he injures not Self by self, and so goes to the Highest Goal" (Gita, XIII. 28). 
This one saying contains, in a few words, the universal way to salvation. 

                    - Swami Vivekananda, 
                      ‘Reply to Maharaja of Khetri’
