This book is a collection of articles, letters, and reminiscences of Swami Atulananda, popularly known as Gurudas Maharaj among the monks and devotees of Ramakrishna Order. The book is divided into three sections. The first contains a biographical sketch of the Swami, the second narrates the story of the Swami's acquaintance and relationship with some of the direct disciples of Sri Ramakrishna, and the third consists of excerpts from his letters. Throughout this book, especially in his letters where the Swami candidly opens his heart to his readers, we are able to find answers to the various problems afflicting our life.
The less passion there is, the better we work. The calmer we are, the better for us and the more the amount of work we can do. When we let loose our feelings, we waste so much energy, shatter our nerves, disturb our minds, and accomplish very little work.
-Swami Vivekananda
