Jnâna Yoga, Part II: Seven Lectures
Vivekananda, Swami
Vedanta; Yoga, Jñana
That very thing
which we now see as this universe will appear to us as God, and that
very God who was so long external, will appear as the very Self of our
own selves. The last word of _Advaita_ is, _Tat tvam asi_,--“That thou
art.”

BY SWÂMI VIVEKÂNANDA
Jnâna Yoga.--Part I.
12mo. 356 pages. Cloth, $1.50. Postage, 11 cents.
“One of the great thought challengers of the day is this work by the
Swâmi Vivekânanda. The book goes deep and treats of startling things,
but when analyzed and viewed from the author’s standpoint, they are
found to be links in the great chain of truth. He alone will deny who
is out of sympathy or limited in vision.”--_Transcript_, Boston, Sept.
24, 1902.
“Students of religion will find much of interest in it; those who care
for India in any way will be glad to receive an indication of high
Hindu thought in one of the most striking religious movements of the
day; while the orthodox Christian will derive some information from the
work regarding the attitude of cultured Hindus toward Christianity and
its Founder. After reading the book one is inexcusable if his ideas
concerning Vedânta are hazy.”--_New York Saturday Review of Books_,
July 12, 1902.
“The lectures show a wonderful insight into great truths which underlie
all religious aspiration.”--_Courier Journal_, Louisville, July 5, 1902.
“The altruism with which his preaching is permeated attracts and
inspires. The love of humanity which he inculcates harmonizes with
the spirit of the age, His English is good, his style easy to read,
his sincerity unquestionable. Merely as an intelligent presentation
of what is best in the ancient Hindu Scriptures, the Swâmi
Vivekânanda’s book is deserving of attention at the hands of religious
students.”--_Record-Herald_, Chicago, Aug. 19, 1902.
“The lectures are all extremely interesting, the style brilliant, the
reasoning often subtle. Whether the philosophy advanced is satisfactory
or not to those whose theories are the outgrowth of a different system
of thought, his method of presenting it affords an intellectual
pleasure.”--_Journal_, Indianapolis, Oct. 13, 1902.
“It is a book which appeals to the intellectual, and no one could be
the worse for reading it, since it contains much of truth even as
Christians measure truth.”--_Milwaukee Sentinel_, Aug, 15, 1902.
“The Vedânta Philosophy as explained by Vivekânanda is interesting....
As given by him and his followers, no more lofty teachings can
be found. The work is a valuable addition to the literature of
religions.”--_Toledo Blade_ Oct. 11, 1902.
