Notes
On the nature of human spirituality and religion, Swami says "Each soul is ... divine. The goal is to manifest this divinity within, BY controlling nature, external and internal. Do this either by work, or worship, or psychic control, or philosophy, by one, or more, or all of these and be free. This is the whole of religion. Doctrines, or dogmas, or rituals, or books, or temples, or forms, are but secondary details."[1]
