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.
Anything that is secret and mysterious in these systems of yoga should be at once rejected. The best guide in life is strength. In religion, as in all other matters, discard everything that weakens you, have nothing to do with it.
-Swami Vivekananda
