This book is a compilation of some of the important writings and lectures of Swami Virajananda who was one of those first four monks to be initiated into sannyasa by Swami Vivekananda, and later, the sixth President of the Ramakrishna Order. These thought-provoking writings display the author's deep reflection on the Ramakrishna Movement, its great founders, some of its pioneers, and its guiding principles. Many of them also throw light on some aspects of the glorious spiritual heritage of India.
They alone live whose lives are in the whole universe, and the more we concentrate our lives on limited things, the faster we go towards death. Those moments alone we live when our lives are in the universe, in others; and living this little life is death, simply death, and that is why the fear of death comes.
-Swami Vivekananda
