Practical Vedanta

Swami Vivekananda

How non-dual Vedanta should be applied to ordinary life: the divinity of each person as the foundation of ethics, equality and dignity, without needing to withdraw from the world. It is the text that best shows the move from Advaita metaphysics to a social ethic, the core of his legacy and the target of academic criticism about the 'Westernisation' of Vedanta.
