Modern man tossed up and down the tempest of worldly duties and responsibilities is, many a times, not surprisingly, found to be dejected and depressed. He desperately tries to take hold of some external prop to once again stand on his feet. This booklet is packed with electrifying thoughts which have the power to lift up every drooping soul back to its state of inherent power and strength. These very vigorous words of Swami Vivekananda have been instrumental in bringing about a drastic awakening in the collective and the individual minds, and in boosting them to move ahead with tremendous confidence towards the goal.
Discriminate within yourself between the real and the unreal. Have you not read the Vedanta? Even when you sleep, keep the sword of discrimination at the head of your bed, so that covetousness cannot approach you even in dream. Practicing such strength, renunciation will gradually come, and then you will see the portals of heaven are wide open to you.
-Swami Vivekananda
