There are several means of realizing God. The path of selfless work is one among them. This book contains eight lectures delivered by Swami Vivekananda on the practical application of the teachings of Vedanta to the affairs of daily life, showing how it is possible to lead the highest life and ultimately realize the Self without abandoning the duties and avocations of one's life in the world. It shows the readers the technique of converting the mundane activities of everyday life into a means of attaining supreme felicity.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and everything else shall be added unto you. This is the one great duty, this is renunciation. Live for an ideal, and leave no place in the mind for anything else.
-Swami Vivekananda
