Mahapurush Swami Shivananda, one of the direct disciples of Sri Ramakrishna and the second President of the Ramakrishna Order, was a person who had scaled the depths of the Divine. His letters to devotees and spiritual seekers were treasured by them as unfailing blessings for the rest of their life. This book is a collection of the more important of these letters.
If a person who lives in God becomes miserable, what is the use of living in God? What is the use of such a God? Throw such a God overboard into the Pacific Ocean. We do not want such a God!
-Swami Vivekananda
