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.
To realize the spirit as spirit is practical religion. Everything else is good so far as it leads to this one grand idea. That realization is to be attained by renunciation, by meditation -- renunciation of all the senses, cutting the knots, the chains that bind us down to matter. - Swami Vivekananda
