A lucid exposition of the wisdom enshrined in the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita together with a chapter on the general features of Indian philosophy.
Be brave! Be strong! Be fearless! Once you have taken up the spiritual life, fight as long as there is any life in you. Even though you know you are going to be killed, fight till you are killed. Don't die of fright. Die fighting. Don't go down till you are knocked down.
-Swami Vivekananda
