One experiences this in the sacred hours of meditation. This booklet is a mirror clearly reflecting the author's inner life, his experiences in the course of meditation and its culmination, and it shows the depth of his spiritual fervour?a must for all those who eagerly wish to learn about the dynamics of the process of meditation and its result.
My name should not be made prominent. It is my ideas that I want to see realized. The disciples of all the prophets have always inextricably mixed up the ideas of the Master with person, and at last killed the ideas for the person.The disciples of Sri Ramakrishna must guard against doing the same thing. Work for the idea, not the person.
-Swami Vivekananda
