This book comprises of a compilation from the Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda enlightening the readers about the great Swami's views on India and her problems. In Swami Vivekananda India had a son who could feel the very pulse of its life current, its vitality and power. This new Prophet of India could see through the masquerading veil of degeneration and decay, the obscured inherent power of his motherland, in slumber as it were, only waiting to be awakened to take the world by storm. In these pages, the readers will find a penetrating diagnosis of the problems with which India is confronted today, and also its solutions.
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.
-Swami Vivekananda
