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 book one must read to learn natural sciences is the book of nature. The book from which to learn religion is your own mind and heart.
-Swami Vivekananda
