This book is Sister Gargi's memoir of the time spent in the company of her beloved teacher, Swami Ashokananda, between 1950 and 1970. She uses journal entries to tell the inspiring story of her life-changing relationship with a great teacher. It takes the reader on a powerful journey of self-discovery.
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
