Meditation without necessary preparation sometimes leads to frustration and loss of faith for beginners in this grand science of the inner life. Against this background this book provides the readers with a collection of selected essays dealing with different aspects of meditation and other topics related to the life devoted to it. Though these essays do not exhaust all the theoretical and practical aspects of the subject, they will certainly prove to be illuminating and extremely useful for all beginners on this path.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and everything shall be added unto you. This is the one great duty, this is renunciation. Live for an ideal, and leave no place in the mind for anything else. Let us put forth all our energies to acquire that which never fails--our spiritual perfection. If we have true yearning for realization, we must struggle, and through struggle growth will come. We shall make mistakes, but they may be angels unawares.
