In the thirteen short biographies the book contains the author brings alive a galaxy of Swami Vivekananda?s principal monastic disciples and shows how, through their spiritual practices and devoted service of God-in-man, they exemplified the neo-monastic ideal. In addition, through the stories of these disciples we get new glimpses of Swamiji?s extraordinary personality and also see him as a loving spiritual trainer of monks. A book sure to inspire one and all.
The important thing is how much less you think of the body, of yourself as matter -- as dead, dull, insentient matter; how much more you think of yourself as shining immortal being. The more you think of yourself as spirit, the more eager you will be to be absolutely free from matter, body and senses. This is the intense desire to be free.
