Using our present knowledge of the great Swami as his foundation, he has presented in his fascinating style his discoveries in this book.
Renounce and give up. What did Christ say? He that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. Again and again did he preach renunciation as the only way to perfection. There comes a time when the mind awakes from this long and dreary dream -- the child gives up its play and wants to go back to its mother.
-Swami Vivekananda
