This over-view of the Swami's life with its in-depth study of his personality by his disciples is surely to be read by his lovers and admirers with absorbing interest and much profit.�
Renounce and give up. What did Christ say? He that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. Again and again did he preach renunciation as the only way to perfection. There comes a time when the mind awakes from this long and dreary dream -- the child gives up its play and wants to go back to its mother.
-Swami Vivekananda
