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.
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life -- think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, and this is the way great spiritual giants are produced. Others are mere talking machines.
