Vivekananda Quote

All knowledge, secular or spiritual, is in the human mind. In many cases it is not discovered but remains covered, and when the covering is being slowly taken off, we say, "We are learning." The advance of knowledge is made by the advance of this process of uncovering. The person from whom this veil is being lifted is the knowing person, the person upon whom it lies thick is ignorant, and the one from whom it has entirely gone is all-knowing, omniscient. There have been omniscient people and, I believe, there will be yet, and that there will be myriads of them in the cycles to come.

Karma Yoga. New York, 1895. Complete Works, 1: 28
