Given by Swami Vivekananda in March, 1896 at the Graduate Philosophical Society of Harvard University, this concise lecture on Vedanta continues to inspire readers to delve deeper into Indian thought.

From the introduction:
We occidentals busy ourselves with the manifold. We can, however, have no understanding of the manifold, if we have no sense of the One in which the manifold exists. The reality of the One is the truth which the East may very well teach us; and we owe a debt of gratitude to Vivekananda that he has taught this lesson so effectively. --C.C. Everett, Dean of the Harvard Divinity School, 1896

Included are questions and answers from the discussion that followed the lecture, as well as some selections from various other lectures.
