Swami Yatiswarananda, a Vice-President of the Ramakrishna Order, was noted for the clarity with which he used to explain the nuances of spiritual life. The harmony of the Yogas, the art and science of meditation, the relation between morality and spirituality and such other themes he would illustrate with humorous anecdotes that would leave a permanent impression on the reader's and listener's mind. The book offers encapsulated wisdom.
The animal has its happiness in the senses, the human beings in their intellect, and the gods in spiritual contemplation. It is only to the soul that has attained to this contemplative state that the world really becomes beautiful.
-Swami Vivekananda
