Swami Vivekananda's illuminative ideas on religion are spread over nearly 4200 pages of his Complete Works. This book containing eight lectures is a compilation from the same and serves as a small introduction to his voluminous writings, talks, and lectures on the subject.
If a person who lives in God becomes miserable, what is the use of living in God? What is the use of such a God? Throw such a God overboard into the Pacific Ocean. We do not want such a God!
-Swami Vivekananda
