Swami Turiyananda was, without doubt, one of the spiritual giants of twentieth century India. This collection of letters of the great Swami will appeal both to the spiritual seeker and the more academically inclined student of Hindu spirituality. The former will find in these pages inspiration and practical instruction, especially for dealing with periods of spiritual dryness. The latter will gain insight into the Vedantic path and methods of spiritual direction. The words of these letters resonate with extraordinary power and compassion arising out of the Swami's profound God-experience, of which they are profound evidence.
Learn to feel yourself in other bodies, to know that we are all one. Throw all other nonsense to the winds. Spit out your actions, good or bad, and never think of them again. What is done is done. Throw off superstition. Have no weakness even in the face of death. Do not repent, do not brood over past deeds. Be aazaad (free).
-Swami Vivekananda
