Be bold and face the truth', said Swami Vivekananda. Here is a book that teaches us how to do it. Here is a book for the guidance of sincere spiritual aspirants who have heard the divine call, who have in response to it accepted God-realization as the highest goal of life, and who consider no sacrifice too great for the attainment of that goal. It is an invaluable guide to practical spiritualiy.
I do not want to get material life, do not want the sense-life, but something higher. That is renunciation. Then, by the power of meditation, undo the mischief that has been done.
-Swami Vivekananda
