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.
Work unto death -- I am with you, and when I am gone, my spirit will work with you. This life comes and goes -- wealth, fame, enjoyments are only of a few days. It is better, far better, to die on the field of duty, preaching the truth, than to die like a worldly worm. Advance!
-Swami Vivekananda
