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 meditative state is the highest state of existence. So long as there is desire, no real happiness can come. It is only the contemplative, witness-like study of objects that brings to us real enjoyment and happiness.
-Swami Vivekananda
