Swami Vivekananda's thoughts on this subject are spread throughout his Complete Works, and these have been brought together in this book. In reading these selections the reader comes in touch with a teacher who taught with authority and not merely as a scholar. The book has been divided into two sections: Meditation according to Yoga and Meditation according to Vedanta. For all the seekers of Truth and practitioners of meditation this book is sure to provide flashes of deep insight helping them to reach their goal through meditation.
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.
