The Philosophy of Bhakti and Significance of Hindu Image-worship
S. S. Raghavachar
This book contains the text of three highly appreciated lectures given by Prof S. S. Raghavachar at the Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture in March 1978.
Discriminate within yourself between the real and the unreal. Have you not read the Vedanta? Even when you sleep, keep the sword of discrimination at the head of your bed, so that covetousness cannot approach you even in dream. Practicing such strength, renunciation will gradually come, and then you will see the portals of heaven are wide open to you.
-Swami Vivekananda
