Worthiest Gain

Let each one work out one's own salvation. Freedom in all matters, i.e. advance towards Mukti is the worthiest gain of man. 
To advance oneself towards freedom -- physical, mental, and spiritual -- and help others to do so, is the supreme prize of man. 

Those social rules which stand in the way of the unfoldment of this freedom are injurious, and steps should be taken to destroy them speedily. Those institutions should be encouraged by which men advance in the path of freedom. 

                - Swami Vivekananda, 
                   in a Letter to Mrinalini Bose 
                     from Deoghar (January 1899)
