The text is from "Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda, Volume 8," which contains a collection of lectures, writings, and discourses by Swami Vivekananda. It includes sections on Jnana-Yoga, Raja-Yoga, and various topics such as the role of women in India and his life mission. In a lecture delivered on January 18, 1900, at the Shakespeare Club House in Pasadena, California, Vivekananda expresses his willingness to discuss any aspect of Hindu philosophy, Indian history, or literature. He emphasizes the importance of exchanging ideas between cultures and asserts that he does not seek to convert people but rather encourages individuals to adopt what they find useful from different philosophies. A questioner asks about the impact of Hindu philosophy on American society, especially in comparison to Christianity, and Vivekananda responds that the adoption of ideas should be based on their perceived value and relevance to different cultures. The volume also contains a variety of topics and notes that reflect Vivekananda's thoughts on spirituality, philosophy, and social issues, including the empowerment of women in India.
