Swami Vivekananda - His life's work

Swami Vivekananda, on his life's work

"To put the Hindu ideas into English and then make out of dry philosophy and intricate mythology and queer startling psychology, a religion which shall be easy, simple, popular, and at the same time meet the requirements of the highest minds -- is a task only those can understand who have attempted it. The dry, abstract Advaita must become living -- poetic -- in everyday life; out of hopelessly intricate mythology must come concrete moral forms; and out of bewildering Yogi - ism must come the most scientific and practical psychology -- and all this must be put in a form so that a child may grasp it. That is my life's work"
