“Vivekananda taught that God is within each one of us, that each of us was born to rediscover his own God-nature. His favorite story was of a lion who imagined himself to be a sheep, until another lion showed him his reflection in a pool. ‘And you are lions,’ he would tell his hearers, ‘you are pure, infinite, and perfect souls.... He, for whom you have been weeping and praying in churches and temples...is your own Self.’” Christopher Isherwood, THE WISHING TREE, p. 113, the Vedanta Society of Southern California.
