Every Nation, every man, every woman, must work
out one’s own salvation. Give them
ideas- that is the only help they require, and then the rest must follow as
the effect. Ours is to put the
chemicals together, the crystallization come in the law of nature. Our duty is to put ideas into their heads,
they will do the rest. This is what is
to be done in India.
~~ Swami Vivekananda
