Swami Premananda, one of the sixteen monastic disciples of Sri Ramakrishna, was the very embodiment of Divine Love. None could ever come in touch with him without being overpowered by the spell of his love?the love that knew no bounds. This book contains many inspiring glimpses from the life of this great saint.
The important thing is how much less you think of the body, of yourself as matter -- as dead, dull, insentient matter; how much more you think of yourself as shining immortal being. The more you think of yourself as spirit, the more eager you will be to be absolutely free from matter, body and senses. This is the intense desire to be free.
-Swami Vivekananda
