A Bridge of Ideas
You rated both 'Practice of Brahmacharya' and 'Karma Yoga' a 4/5, suggesting you appreciated their profound insights, yet your unstated journey reveals a surprisingly potent bridge between them: both works, despite their distinct thematic focuses, champion the mastery of the self as the ultimate pathway to spiritual liberation. Swami Sivananda's focus on physical and mental discipline in Brahmacharya, and Swami Vivekananda's articulation of selfless action in Karma Yoga, are not merely related concepts but represent two essential, complementary pillars for the disciplined yogi. You've implicitly recognized that controlling desire and channeling energy are prerequisites for performing action without attachment, a connection that elevates your understanding of yogic philosophy beyond its individual components.
