This book contains the life (in brief) and teachings of an extraordinary personality, Swami Premananda, a direct disciple of Sri Ramakrishna. He was, indeed, a man of God, and was the very personification of prema, love. He drew others to him by his extraordinary love and breadth of heart. Those who came in touch with him were completely transformed. His was a life that is sure to inspire one and all even now .
Those who have succeeded in attaching or detaching their minds at will have succeeded in Pratyahara, which means gathering towards, checking the outgoing powers of the mind, freeing it from the thralldom of the senses. When we can do this, we shall really possess character; then alone we shall have taken a long step towards freedom. Before that, we are mere machines.
-Swami Vivekananda
