The book covers both Bhakti Yoga and Karma-Yoga. With Bhakti Yoga we learn how to channel our emotions in a spiritual direction. With Karma Yoga learn the secret of how to work hrough selfless action, or selfless work.. For Westerners, here is one of our most important books on working and living the spiritual life.
The trick is to work giving your best effort, yet not being attached to the results.
Famed 19-century author Romain Rolland writes about Swami Vivekananda:
His words are great music, phrases in the style of Beethoven, stirring rhythms like the march of Handel choruses. I cannot touch these sayings of his, scattered as they are through the pages of books at thirty years' distance, without receiving a thrill through my body like an electric shock. And what shocks, what transports must have been produced when in burning words they issued from the lips of a hero.
We all benefit from understanding karma better
I appreciate Vivekananda's in-depth approach to this complex topic. Karma is both clear at times, while also being a mystery as well. Building a bridge between the path of devotion to the welfare of others and how to create better karma is essential for all of us. I recommend this work to all earnest spiritual students.
