Contains a bouquet of thought-provoking essays by Swami Swahananda of the Ramakrishna Order. All the essays are remarkable for their clarity of thought, depth of insight, comprehensiveness of vision and lucidity of expression. They cover quite a wide spectrum of the problems confronting the truth seekers in these days and will amply repay careful study.
The important thing is how much less you think of the body, of yourself as matter -- as dead, dull, insentient matter; how much more you think of yourself as shining immortal being. The more you think of yourself as spirit, the more eager you will be to be absolutely free from matter, body and senses. This is the intense desire to be free.
-Swami Vivekananda
