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.
Discriminate within yourself between the real and the unreal. Have you not read the Vedanta? Even when you sleep, keep the sword of discrimination at the head of your bed, so that covetousness cannot approach you even in dream. Practicing such strength, renunciation will gradually come, and then you will see the portals of heaven are wide open to you.
-Swami Vivekananda
