We’re saddled with biological drives to accumulate and multiply.
Culture is a chance to evolve past all that and create poetry instead.
But into that cultural space we’ve plugged a money mechanism built on the same impulse.
And it's skewing the evolution of our species.

The 1st c. Christianity symbol wasn't the cross; but the anchor, during the period of persecution that has been found in ancient catacombs. It brings together the cross & nautical Christian symbolism, & it symbolizes the Christian hope in Christ amid a turbulent world. https://t.co/QC0ubdcikJ

Vivekananda was a product of his time. He was very much influenced by Christian missionaries and that shows in his writings. He deserves our respect but some of his writings should be taken with a pinch of salt. Shri Aurobindo had better clarity in his thoughts.

Sri Aurobindo started writing in public just a few months after his return to India in 1893. Vivekananda is generally considered senior to him but in terms of scholarly output, Sri Aurobindo comes first. This may not be known to many people. (Request to readers to verify/confirm)
