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.
When we can attach the mind to -- or detach it from -- the sense at our will, we shall really possess character. Then alone we shall have taken a long step towards freedom; before that, we are mere machines.
-Swami Vivekananda
