The writings and speeches of Swami Abhedananda, a direct disciple of Sri Ramakrishna, were spread over a long period of ministration both in America and in India. His deep philosophical insight and unfathomed spirituality greatly attracted learned people all over the world. All his writings and speeches are available in this set of ten volumes.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and everything shall be added unto you. This is the one great duty, this is renunciation. Live for an ideal, and leave no place in the mind for anything else. Let us put forth all our energies to acquire that which never fails--our spiritual perfection. If we have true yearning for realization, we must struggle, and through struggle growth will come. We shall make mistakes, but they may be angels unawares.
-Swami Vivekananda
