This is a selection of Professor R. K. Dasgupta's papers and speeches on philosophy and philosophers �ranging from Dante Alighieri to Swami Vivekananda. A profound scholar with a versatile mind, the professor is well-versed as much in philosophy as in literature, and the reader is sure to benefit by his lucid exposition of abstruse topics.
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life -- think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, and this is the way great spiritual giants are produced. Others are mere talking machines.
-Swami Vivekananda
