In this book the author makes the abstract Vedanta living. He does this brilliantly by lifting a purely idolatrous, anthropomorphic concept of godhead, particularly Indian, to an ideal of universal significance, and explains how the awakening of little of Mother-worship can transform the entire world beyond recognition, take women to the highest pinnacle of their glory, make men more sublime, truthful and kind-hearted, and this world itself a better place for living, free of all tension and petty bickering.
Let us make our hearts as big as an ocean, to go beyond all the trifles of the world and see it only as a picture. We can then enjoy the world without being in any way affected by it.
-Swami Vivekananda
