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.
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life -- think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, and this is the way great spiritual giants are produced. Others are mere talking machines.
