Swami Vivekananda primarily advocated merits of doctrine of karma. He asserted that spirituality could be practiced even while indulging in karma, daily routines of life! He admonished seekers, travelers of spiritual path who lined religious centres like Haridwar, Rishikesh… Varanasi etc. who quit their family, the karma and went in pursuit of God unmindful of the consequences.
Indulgence in karma was a requisite to indulging in spirituality. Karma has to be burnt in totality, it could never be subdued! Karma can be burnt only by indulgence in karma, never otherwise! Swami Vivekananda in his times became an icon for indulgence in karma. Until today, Swami Vivekananda is remembered for his tireless advocacy of indulgence in karma.
Advocacy of karma was only one aspect of life of Swami Vivekananda. In his lifetime Swami Vivekananda dealt with subjects like practice of Brahmacharya Vrata, indulgence in yoga etc. Swami Vivekananda advocated indulgence in nishkama karma yoga without going after fruits of karma performed. Swami Vivekananda also freely advocated serving the community to its level best.
