Advaita Vedanta is the pinnacle of Indian thought, and Sanskrit texts dealing with Advaita Vedanta are the crest-jewel of Sanskrit literature. This work is intended to help scholars easy access to the basic ideas of Advaita Vedanta.
What the world wants is character. The world is in need of those whose life is one burning love--selfless. That love will make every word tell like a thunderbolt. Awake, awake, great souls! The world is burning in misery. Can you sleep? Work unto death--I am with you, and when I am gone, my spirit will work with you. This life comes and goes--wealth, fame, enjoyments are only of a few days. It is better, far better, to die on the field of duty, preaching the truth than to die like a worldly worm. Advance!
-Swami Vivekananda
