This book contains conversations of Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi, originally in Bengali, and recorded by her disciples. The English translation is simple and attractive and has a close affinity to the original. It also contains a biographical introduction by Swami Nikhilananda.
Why are people so afraid? The answer is that they have made themselves helpless and dependent on others. We are so lazy, we do not want to do anything ourselves. We want a Personal God, a Savior or a Prophet to do everything for us.
-Swami Vivekananda
