This book contains the life (in brief) and teachings of an extraordinary personality, Swami Premananda, a direct disciple of Sri Ramakrishna. He was, indeed, a man of God, and was the very personification of prema, love. He drew others to him by his extraordinary love and breadth of heart. Those who came in touch with him were completely transformed. His was a life that is sure to inspire one and all even now .
Those who grumble at the little thing that has fallen to their lot to do will grumble at everything. Always grumbling, they will lead a miserable life, and everything will be a failure. But those who do their duties as they go, putting their shoulders to the wheel, will see the light, and higher duties will fall to their share.
-Swami Vivekananda
