This excellent compilation from the works of Swami Vivekananda is not merely instructive but also provocative in the sense that it makes the readers feel, with a compelling sense of urgency, that they ought to be on the road to Personality Development. For is not a developed personality a sine quo non for success in all the fields of human life and endeavour? How to attain it? What are its means? The readers will find these questions answered in these illuminating pages. Here is a book which can make the readers view themselves in a new light.
I am the thread that runs through all these pearls, and each pearl is a religion or even a sect thereof. Such are the different pearls, and God is the thread that runs through all of them; most people, however, are entirely unconscious of it.
-Swami Vivekananda
