This book comprises four hymns in praise of, and supplication to, Sri Ramakrishna and Sri Sarada Devi. These hymns are sung in the ashramas of the Ramakrishna Order and also in thousands of homes of their devotees during vespers. Swami Harshananda's translation of these beautiful hymns and commentaries on them reveal their hidden meaning and help the readers comprehend their spiritual significance.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and everything shall be added unto you. This is the one great duty, this is renunciation. Live for an ideal, and leave no place in the mind for anything else. Let us put forth all our energies to acquire that which never fails--our spiritual perfection. If we have true yearning for realization, we must struggle, and through struggle growth will come. We shall make mistakes, but they may be angels unawares.
-Swami Vivekananda
