-Roopa Iyer
“Whether men understand it or not, they are impelled by
that power behind to become unselfish. That is the
foundation of morality. It is the quintessence of all
ethics, preached in any language, or any religion, or by
any prophet in the world. “Be thou unselfish”, “Not ‘I’,
but ‘Thou’ “- that is the background of ethical codes.”
-Swami Vivekananda
