Children believe your words when you say that the policeman will catch
them or the ghost will beat them. They are full of fear, fortitude and faith!
But having grown old and stuffed your heads with all kinds of doctrines and
dogmas and theories and arguments, you have now to use your Viveka
(discrimination) and discover God the hard way.
This I will tell you, there is no escaping it; all creatures have to
reach God some day or other, by the long route or by the short route.
- From Swami's 1953 Vijayadasami Divine Discourse.
