Swami Vivekananda is a man of compassion and affection. He is a rare personality and boon to the world. He is a visionary of the world. His contribution to the people of India in particular and the world in general is immeasurable. Swami Vivekananda is an extraordinary genius with both a spiritual vision and a spiritual mission. In his vision, man is none other than the supreme divinity under a tiny material cover, and human life is nothing but a continuous struggle to express that divinity within. According to him, that society is the highest which affords maximum opportunities to its members to manifest their potential divinity. His mission, then, is to rouse men and women all over the world to an awareness of their divine nature and to show them the ways and means to express that divinity into their thought and actions—in their art, education, literature, culture, social customs and institutions, and, infact, in all areas of life. As Swami Vivekananda is a world teacher, his vision has encompassed the spiritual uplift of humanity as a whole, yet he is also one of the greatest leaders of modern India.
