The potential of many people is hidden deep underneath the rusted brain of materialism, I am not saying only few have the potential, everyone is equally great and has equal infinite power. What I am saying is that there are few people who can listen and sacrifice their desires for the sake of God.
I have seen people, most(almost 95% or more) see spirituality in practice as Taboo, they do not understand God realization..., we cannot change them, only few people can be changed those who will listen, then think seriously, few who can be made to think that they too can try!
We need that kind of people, Spiritual Sadhakas, few good men and women, especially youth, then we can change the world.

India -- The Immortal

There was a time when at the sound of the march of big Greek battalions, the earth trembled. Vanished from off the face of the earth, with not even a tale left behind to tell, gone is that ancient land of the Greeks.
There was a time when Roman Eagle floated over everything worth having in this world; everywhere Rome's power was felt and pressed on the head of humanity; the earth trembled at the name of Rome. But the Capitoline Hill is a mass of ruins, the spider weaves its web where the Caesars ruled.
There have been other nations equally glorious that have come and gone...
But we live, and if Manu came back today he would not be bewildered, and would not find himself in a foreign land. The same laws are here, laws adjusted and thought out through thousands and thousands of years, customs, the outcome of the acumen of ages and the experience of centuries, that seem to be eternal.
It is the same India which has withstood the shocks of centuries, of hundreds of foreign invasions. It is the same land which stands firmer than any rock in the world, with its undying vigour, indestructible life. Its life is of the same nature as the soul, without beginning and without end, immortal; and we are the children of such a country.
“You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.”
Yes, I am the teacher to myself, rather Lord Shiva is the teacher to me. But I sometimes feel that Lord Shiva just don't even bother about me, that is it Lord Shiva who has taught me? am I assuming that Lord Shiva has taught me?
I have committed many many sins in my life that I feel that whether Lord Shiva even knows my name. I feel that Lord Shiva hates me. Yes, why shouldn't Shiva hate me? I have committed gravest sins, I am not having the right to think about lord, I have no right to any happiness in the world all my life, I should be sad always because I have committed so many sins.
Answer me for that reason lord, Say that you love me, say you care for me, answer me lord. Otherwise I will have to disbelieve in you.
But don't worry I am so strong that I can live with all the troubles and dangers. I am very strong, yes Very very Strong. Then I am very happy, now I am happy, always I will be happy.

“Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin.
Personally I believe that Weakness is death! Yes, I have realized it. What is this world-nothing but weakness of mind. When mind becomes strong there is no world, you will become the world.
There should be a remedy to Weakness we are assuming that is present in us. What is the remedy I ask Swamiji. I ask Swamiji how to do it. I hope Swamiji answers and I will take it from there, I promise.
What is God? Where is God? I know it is to say herioc and copying to me in asking these questions, But even I am a person, Vivekananda says that I am God, let it be so, I am asking.
Oh God please don't avoid me, answer me.

'Feel proud that you are Indians even if you're wearing a loin-cloth'
Other princes, or the intelligentsia as a whole, were impressed by Swamiji's personality, but were much too engrossed with their own affairs to pay any heed to his appeals. Some of the young men of Madras, Perumal specially, dedicated himself to the ideas Swamiji propounded and his contributions to the success of his mission were significant. Swamiji could guess the reason why the so-called leaders of the society ignored him. Who was he ? A mere wandering monk. There were hundreds of such monks all over the country. Why should they pay any special attention to him ? By and large, they followed only Western thinkers and those Indians who followed the West and had had some recognition in the West by so doing. It was slave mentality, but that was what characterized the attitude of the educated Indians over most matters. It pained Swamiji to see Indians strutting about in Western clothes and imitating Western ways and manners, as if that made them really Western. Later he would call out the nation and say, 'Feel proud that you are Indians even if you're wearing a loin-cloth'. He was not opposed to learning from the West, for he knew the Western people had some great qualities and it was because of those qualities that they had become so rich and powerful. He wanted India to learn science and technology from the West and its power to organize and its practical sense, but, at the same time, retain its high moral and spiritual idealism. But the selfishness of the so-called educated people pained him more. They were happy if they could care for themselves and they gave a damn to what happened to the people. Swamiji wanted to draw their attention to the miserable condition of the masses-illiterate, always on the verge of starvation, superstitious and victims of oppression by the upper castes and the rich landlords.
