Truth about the soul is first to be heard. If you have heard it, think about it. Once you have done that, meditate upon it. No more vain arguments! Satisfy yourself once that you are the infinite spirit. If that is true, it must be nonsense that you are the body. You are the Self, and that must be realized. Spirit must see itself as spirit. Now the spirit is seeing itself as body. That must stop. The moment you begin to realize that, you are released.

One of the contributions of Swami Vivekananda was to single out the essence f all religions and distinguish it from the non-essentials. ‘Religion is realisation’, he said. In his lecture ‘The Practice of Religion’ he points out that we need to be dynamic and practice of Religion’ he points out that we need to be dynamic and practice spiritual disciplines instead of being content with lifeless theories and dogmas. Considering the importance of this lecture, we are now publishing it as a separate booklet and hope that the readers will greatly benefit out of it.
