Intellect has been cultured; result, hundreds of sciences
have been discovered, and their effect has been that the few have made slaves
of the many – that is all the good that has been done.
Artificial wants have been created; and every poor man,
whether he has money or not, desires to have those wants satisfied and when he
cannot, he struggles and dies in the struggle. This is the result.
Through the intellect is not the way to solve the problem of
misery but through the heart.
If all this vast amount of effort had been spent in making
men purer, gentler and more forbearing, this world would have a thousand fold
more happiness than it has today.
Swami Vivekananda
