Though many biographies of Vivekananda have been published, this one focuses mainly on his childhood, with glimpses of his growth into a youngster. Swami Vivekananda's personality � with his courage, selflessness, love for his fellow beings, thirst for knowledge, and other noble qualities�cannot but be a wonderful role model for children even long after they have grown up.
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
