LOVE IS SOMETHING

“Love is something you and I must have.
We must have it because Our Spirit feeds upon it.
We must have it because without it We become weak and faint.
Without Love Our Self-esteem weakens.
Without it Our courage fails.
Without Love We can no longer look confidently at the world.
We turn inward and begin to feed upon Our Own personalities,
and little by little We destroy Our Selves.
With it We are Creative.
With it, and with it alone, We are able to sacrifice for Others.”

Vivekananda (12 January 1863 – 4 July 1902) was an Indian Hindu monk and chief disciple of the 19th-century saint Ramakrishna. He was a key figure in the introduction of the Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world.  Nikola Tesla used ancient Sanskrit terminology in his descriptions of natural phenomena. As early as 1891 Tesla described the universe as a kinetic system filled with energy which could be harnessed at any location. His concepts during the following years were greatly influenced by the teachings of Swami Vivekananda.
