The Complete Works Of Sister Nivedita Set of 5 Vol.
Sister Nivedita
In these five volumes, comprising the illuminating lectures, writings, articles, books, and epistles etc, of Sister Nivedita, we find the author's marvellous intellect, her lyrical powers of expression, the intensity with which she held her beliefs and convictions, her capacity to see the soul of things straightaway, and above all, her love for India that overflowed all bounds. Her deep study of Indian literature combined with her keen intellect and comprehensive mind, helped her to understand India as a whole. Her works are, perhaps, the best appraisal of India by a western mind
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.
-Swami Vivekananda
