Tremendous purity, tremendous renunciation, is the one secret of spirituality. “Neither through wealth, nor through progeny, but through renunciation alone is immortality to be reached,” say the Vedas. “Sell all that thou hast and give to poor, and follow me,” says the Christ.

Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda

We are fools indeed to give up God for legends of ghosts or flying hobgoblins. It is a disease, a morbid desire.
