Based on this idea of oneness and divinity within, Swami Vivekananda laid out certain principles. He said, ‘that which strengthens you is true. Reject as poison, that which weakens you’. Vedanta gives strength. What unites all of us is true, what divides us, reject it as false, because of the oneness of existence. What makes us more unselfish, that is the truth. What makes us more selfish, reject it as false.
