This lecture, delivered at Lahore by Swami Vivekananda, is one of his most comprehensive lectures on Advaita Vedanta. It is presented to the public in this booklet form to serve as a compendium of the Advaita doctrine.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and everything 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. Let us put forth all our energies to acquire that which never fails--our spiritual perfection. If we have true yearning for realization, we must struggle, and through struggle growth will come. We shall make mistakes, but they may be angels unawares.
-Swami Vivekananda
