The one theme of the Vedanta philosophy is the search after unity. The Hindu mind does not care for the particular; it is always after the general, nay, the universal. "what is it that by knowing which everything else is to be known." That is the one search.

Worship of society and popular opinion is idolatry.

Real love is love for love's sake. I do not ask health or money or life or salvation.
