Description

Extract from the Book:

It may be that I shall find it good to get outside of my body-to cast it off like a worn-out garment. But I shall not cease to work! I shall inspire men everywhere, until the world shall known that it is one with god.
- Swami Vivekananda

“The wavy waters in the picture are symbolic of Karma, the lotus of Bhakti and the rising-sun, of Jnana. The encircling serpent is indicative of yoga and the awakened Kundalini Shakti; while the swan in the picture stands for the Paramatman.

Therefore, the idea of the picture is that by the union of Karma, Jnana, Bhakti and Yoga, the vision of the Paramatman is obtained.”
- Swami Vivekananda
