Although Swamiji’s poems are written in simple language, be it Sanskrit, Bengali or English, in some cases it is not easy to comprehend their meaning. The the reason may be that Swamiji penned the in a highly elevated state of mind. This book is a compilation of Swamji’s poems followed by commentary in prose that was greeted with warm reception at the time of its first appearance in Bengali. The present volume is an English version of the same.
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
