We must always remember that God is Love. A fool indeed is he who, living on the banks of the Ganga, seeks to dig a little well for water. A fool indeed is the man who, living near a mine of diamonds, spends his life in searching for beads of glass. God is that mine of diamonds. We are fools indeed to give up God for legends of ghosts or flying hobgoblins. It is a disease, a morbid desire. β¨ Swami Vivekananda (2016). Addresses on Bhakti Yoga: Art of living, p.41, editionNEXT.com
