A collection of articles by well-known scholars, culled mainly from the pages of the Cultural Heritage of India. The purpose is to present to the public in a smaller book the knowledge of Vedanta which, according to Swami Vivekananda, "alone�can become the universal religion of man".
The disciple must have great power of endurance. Life seems comfortable; and you find the mind behaves well when everything is going well with you. But if something goes wrong, your mind loses its balance. That is not good. Bear all evil and misery without one murmur of hurt, without one thought of unhappiness, resistance, remedy, or retaliation. That is true endurance; and that you must acquire.
-Swami Vivekananda
