Sri Ramakrishna's message was fundamentally a spiritual message to a world steeped in materialism. And who could be better equipped to interpret that message than his direct disciples who had been moulded by that Great Master into his own mould. This book comprises of articles by these great disciples of Sri Ramakrishna bringing out the true significance of religion and its practice. All those who truly thirst after religion and God will find in this book clear insights into spiritual life and practices.
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
