This book forms a companion volume to the Swami's Universal Prayers. In the Introduction a detailed and systematic account of the theory and practice of spiritual life is given. The main body of the book containing Sanskrit texts and their English translations, presents a large number of important scriptural passages through which the ancient sages and seers of India enlighten us on ethics, philosophy and practice of meditation.
No one should be judged by their defects. The great virtues a person has are his or her especially. But their errors are the common weakness of humanity and should never be counted in estimating a person's character.
-Swami Vivekananda
