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.
When we have become free, we need not go mad and throw up society and rush off to die in the forest or the cave; we shall remain where we were but we shall understand the whole thing. The same phenomena will remain but with a new meaning.
-Swami Vivekananda
