The compiler of this book has collected from various English sources the teachings of twelve of Sri Ramakrishna's monastic disciples on important topics related to the development of spiritual life. This is a valuable compilation containing many gems of advice for spiritual seekers in general and followers of Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda in particular.
I do not want to get material life. I do not want sense-life but something higher. That is renunciation. Then, by the power of meditation, undo the mischief that has been done.
-Swami Vivekananda
