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 .
Renounce and give up. What did Christ say? He that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. Again and again did he preach renunciation as the only way to perfection. There comes a time when the mind awakes from this long and dreary dream -- the child gives up its play and wants to go back to its mother.
-Swami Vivekananda
