This book is full of useful information, penetrating insights, and profound counsels for all spiritual aspirants. It is something more than an ordinary book. It is a personal contact with a great man, a teacher who has actually experienced what he teaches. An invaluable work indeed for all the seekers of the Supreme Truth.
Nature, body, mind go to death, not we. We neither go nor come. The man Vivekananda is in nature, is born and dies; but the Self we see as Vivekananda is never born and never dies. It is the eternal and unchangeable Reality.
-Swami Vivekananda
