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 less passion there is, the better we work. The calmer we are, the better for us and the more the amount of work we can do. When we let loose our feelings, we waste so much energy, shatter our nerves, disturb our minds, and accomplish very little work.
-Swami Vivekananda
