It is said in the practice of Vedanta that we have a right to work, but don’t have a right to the results of our actions. We have to work as hard as we can, give the work our best quality effort, then step back and let the results take care of themselves. Or in the practice of yoga, offer the results to God.Work purifies the soul. This concept is a bit different than many of us have been taught in the West, but the book offers an interesting approach that can save us from a lot of misery and bring us closer to God. In fact, you don’t even need to believe in God to practice this yoga.
The life and message of Swami Vivekananda are a source of great inspiration to many in their individual as well as collective life. The present short biography is intended to meet the needs of those who have neither the time nor the opportunity to read larger works about the Swami. A versatile genius as the great Swami was, and many-sided as were his activities, it is idle to hope that a complete picture of his wonderful life could be given in such a small compass. Here an attempt is made to give only a glimpse of this great personality so that people may become interested to know more about him.
This is the 2nd volume of 9 volumes that comprise the collected works of Swami Vivekananda. Much of the material was given as lectures during his visits to the West. A treasure trove of material.. This volume includes of special interest: Jnana-Yoga; Bhakti or Devotion; Work and Its Secret; and Practical Vedanta and Other Lectures. and various other articles and lectures.
In Bhagavata, Bhishma observed about the Pandavas ‘How strange that danger should stalk the fortunes of a family that has the son of Dharma as its head, that has got the protection of Bhima and Arjuna, and above all Sri Krishna as their ally! None can know the will of that Supreme Being.’This book echoes similar sentiments about Swami Vivekananda highlighting the problems, criticisms, and other hardships that he faced during his life to fulfill his mission. It also elaborates how he handled such adversities with strength and courage. We will be enriched by Swami Vivekananda’s experience illustrated here and could also follow them when faced with similar situations in our life.
