The Story of an Epoch: Swami Virajananda and His Times
Swami Shraddhananda
The spiritual career of the sixth president of the Ramakrishna Order, a monk initiated by the Holy Mother and given the ochre robe by Swami Vivekananda, throws a flood of light on the formative period of the Ramakrishna Movement.
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
