A collection of articles by monks of the Ramakrishna Order explaining some important and fundamental aspects of spiritual life, and stressing on the preparations a spiritual aspirant must undergo before devoting himself to intense spiritual practices.
Brave, bold men and women, these are what we want. What we want is vigor in the blood, strength in the nerves, iron muscles and nerves of steel, not softening namby-pamby ideas. Avoid all these. Avoid all mystery. There is no mystery in religion.
-Swami Vivekananda
