With the Holy Mother as the centre of inspiration, a Math is to be established on the eastern bank of the Ganga. . . . On the other side of the Ganga a big plot of land will be acquired, where unmarried girls or Brahmacharini widows will live devout married women will also be allowed to stay now and then. Men will have no concern with this Math.

Here lies the secret. Says Patanjali, the father of Yoga, When a man rejects all the superhuman powers, then he attains to the cloud of virtue. He sees God. He becomes God and helps others to become the same. This is all I have to preach. Doctrines have been expounded enough. There are books by the million. Oh, for an ounce of practice!
Swami Vivekananda

The moment you think creed and form and ceremony the be-all and end-all, then you are in bondage. Take part in them to help others, but take care they do not become a bondage.
