Synopsis ‘Vivekananda has serenely wedded the West and the East. He saw that his first duty was towards his first neighbour, his own people. His universal soul was rooted in its human soul and the smallest pang suffered by its inarticulate flesh sent a repercussion through the whole tree. His claim to greatness lies in the fact that he not only proved its unity by reason, but stamped it upon the heart of India in flashes of illumination. He had a genius for arresting words and burning phrases hammered out white hot I the forge of his soul so that they transpierced thousands. It may justly be said that India’s destiny was changed by him, and that this teaching re-echoed throughout humanity.’
