An edited compilation of the lectures given periodically at the R.K. Mission Institute of Culture by Swami Lokeshwarananda for the elucidation of the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna.
Avoid excessive merriment. A mind in that state never becomes calm; it becomes fickle. Excessive merriment will always be followed by sorrow. Tears and laughter are near kin. People so often run from one extreme to the other.
-Swami Vivekananda
