Impressed by the spiritual mettle of a young monastic disciple named Swami Kalyanananda, Swami Vivekananda once said to him, ?Kalyan, one day you will be a Paramahamsa.? The book contains inspiring reminiscences of this disciple of Swamiji that reveal how he wonderfully exemplified Swamiji?s great ideal of service by showing in his own life the immesurable love, care, sympathy, and self-sacrifice that are required of one who wants to truly serve others.
Nature grinds all of us. Keep count of the ounce of pleasure you get. In the long run, nature did her work through you, and when you die your body will make other plants grow. Yet we think all the time that we are getting pleasure ourselves. Thus the wheel goes round.
-Swami Vivekananda
