This book is an attempt to elucidate the unique message of Sri Ramakrishna in all its aspects, indicate its significance and its place in Indian religious literature, and suggest ways and means for its practical application. And in showing how he gained his priceless spiritual treasures, the book also briefly tells the story of his soul's journey through sea after sea of the shoreless and uncharted deep in search of all its pearls, which he later threaded into the most beautiful rosary.
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
