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. :
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
