This is a powerful lecture delivered by Swami Vivekananda in San Francisco in 1900.It is one of the best books delineating, in brief, the fundamentals of Vedanta in a lucid, authoritative and candid tone.
By doing well the duty which is nearest to us, the duty which is in our hands now, we make ourselves stronger; and improving our strength in this manner step by step, we may reach a state in which it shall be our privilege to do the most coveted and honored duties in life and in society.
-Swami Vivekananda
