"Knowledge is inherent in man; no knowledge comes from outside; it is all inside.… We say Newton discovered gravitation Was it sitting anywhere in a corner waiting for him? It was in his own mind; the time came and he found it out. All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in your own mind. The external world is simply the suggestion, the occasion, which sets you to study your own mind" - Swami Vivekanada
