Hard to Teach New Ideas

It will take thousands of years to have large numbers of truly rational human beings. 

It is very hard to show men new things, to give them great ideas. It is harder still to knock off old superstitions, very hard; they do not die easily. With all his education, even the learned man becomes frightened in the dark -- the nursery tales come into his mind, and he see ghosts.

                       ‘Is Vedanta the Future Religion’,

Humility and Reverence

 … for the Bhakti Yogi, humility and reverence are necessary. The Bhakti Yogi must hold himself as a dead man. A dead man never takes an insult, never retaliates; he is dead to everyone. 

The Bhakti Yogi must reverence all good people, all saintly people, for the glory of the Lord shines always through His children.  

- Swami Vivekananda,
