స్వామి శివానంద సూక్తి

A true monk or Sannyasin can do everything through his thought-vibrations. A Sannyasin or Yogi need not become the President of an Association or the leader of a social or political movement. It is a foolish and puerile idea. Indians have now imbibed the missionary spirit of the West and cry out that Sannyasins should come out and take part in social and political activities. It is a sad mistake. It is not necessary that a Sannyasin, a saint should appear on the platform to help the world, to preach and elevate the minds of people.
