This world is nothing. It is at best only a hideous caricature, a shadow of the Real. We must go to the Real. Renunciation will take us to It. Renunciation is the very basis of our true life; every moment of goodness and real life that we enjoy is when we do not think of ourselves.
-- Swami Vivekananda

The term Brahmin does not connote any particular caste or sect but it signifies a transcendental stage of spiritual sublimity. Every man of the world can attain to that stage by spiritual training. Every man in the universe has the right to become a Brahmin by reaching that stage. It is only to help people in reaching this transcendental stage that dynamic souls, the highly radiant teachers descend on this earth.
Really a lion...
Swami Vivekananda was really a lion... he has a lot of courage to utter these words, when folks are so attached to the world.
Forego a temporary 'healing' for a permanent recovery; this is how the Reality is reached.
