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.
We must have friendship for all; we must be merciful toward those that are in misery; when people are happy, we ought to be happy; and to the wicked we must be indifferent. These attitudes will make the mind peaceful.
-Swami Vivekananda
