Throughout his spiritual ministration in the West, Swami Vivekananda mainly spread the message of the Universal Religion of Vedanta. Only on two occasions did he speak about his Master, Sri Ramakrishna; and that was at New York and England. This book comprises both the lectures combined under the present title. It contains the outpouring of a devout heart deeply stirred by the very name of his Master.
Avoid excessive merriment. A mind in that state never becomes calm; it becomes fickle. Excessive merriment will always be followed by sorrow. Tears and laughter are near kin. People so often run from one extreme to the other.
