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.
Bless people when the revile you. Think how much good they are doing by helping to stamp out the false ego. Hold fast to the Atman, think only pure thoughts, and you will accomplish more than a regiment of mere preachers.
-Swami Vivekananda
