Seek the Highest

Stick to God! Who cares what comes to the body or to anything else! 

Through the terrors of evil, say -- my God, my love! 
Through the pangs of death, say -- my God, my love! 
Through all the evils under the sun, say -- my God, my love! 
Thou art here, I see Thee. Thou art with me, I feel Thee. I am Thine, take me. Do not go for glass beads leaving the mine of diamonds! 

This life is a great chance. What, seekest thou the pleasures of the world?-- he is the fountain of all bliss. Seek for the highest, aim at that highest, and you shall reach the highest. 

                 - Swami Vivekananda, 
                     in a Letter to Hale Sisters 
                       from Maine (July 1894)
