This book is an illuminating sequel to the author's earlier well-researched 'Journey of the Upanishads to the West', both focusing on the glorious Oriental literary heritage to the world at large.
The disciple must have great power of endurance. Life seems comfortable; and you find the mind behaves well when everything is going well with you. But if something goes wrong, your mind loses its balance. That is not good. Bear all evil and misery without one murmur of hurt, without one thought of unhappiness, resistance, remedy, or retaliation. That is true endurance; and that you must acquire.
-Swami Vivekananda
