All the powers of the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.
~ Swami Vivekenanda
If we just worry about the big picture, we are powerless. So my secret is to start right away doing whatever little work I can do. I try to give joy to one person in the morning, and remove the suffering of one person in the afternoon. If you and your friends do not despise the small work, a million people will remove a lot of suffering.
