Children of immortal bliss: -what a sweet, what a hopeful name! Allow me to call you, brethren, by that sweet name-heirs of immortal bliss- yea, the Hindu refuses to call you sinners. Ye are the children of God, the sharers of immortal bliss, holy and perfect beings. Ye divinities on earth -sinners! It is a sin to call a man so; it is a standing libel on human nature. Come up, O lions, and shake off the delusion that you are sheep; you are souls immortal, spirits free, blest, and eternal; Ye are not matter, ye are not bodies. Matter is your servant, not you the servant of matter.
-Swami Vivekananda
