This book is a translation of Swami Vivekananda's Bengali writing, 'Parivrajaka'. Written in a mixture of humorous and serious vein, the book presents Swamiji's thoughts on various subjects � all that had drawn his keen attention during his journey from Kolkata to Europe. The author's observations cover a vast panorama of human life and its current, including different cultures, traditions, practices, life-styles, climes, history, topography, etc. A highly interesting book characterized by the author's unique flair to bring out illuminating flashes of truth through sharp and pointed statements. A book that makes very interesting reading, and is, at the same time, illuminating and informative.
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.
