In the pages of this book are recorded inspiring incidents from the day-to-day life in various centres of Ramakrishna Math and Mission giving the readers an idea of what life is like in the monasteries of the Ramakrishna Order in India. Self-effacement, dedication to a spiritual ideal, insights into spiritual matters — the book has much to motivate. A generous helping of humour and practical jokes makes the narrative lively and highly readable.
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
