The Philosophical and Religious Lectures of Swami Vivekananda
Swami Tapasyananda
A pr�cis of the lectures is made in about one third of the size of the originals, with appropriate paragraph headings that serve as landmarks to guide the reader through the thought-content of the lectures. :
The animal has its happiness in the senses, the human beings in their intellect, and the gods in spiritual contemplation. It is only to the soul that has attained to this contemplative state that the world really becomes beautiful.
-Swami Vivekananda
