The most comprehensive, authentic, and critical estimate of the life, sadhana, and teachings of Sri Ramakrishna. This book holds a unique place in hagiographical literature. The life-story of a divine personality worshipped by millions as an Incarnation of God has never been written in this wise by any one of his apostles. The book is not simply a biography of the latest Incarnation of the modern age; it combines a biography with a lucid study of the various cults of religion, mysticism and philosophy existing in India and elsewhere from the prehistoric times down to the modern era.

Discriminate within yourself between the real and the unreal. Have you not read the Vedanta? Even when you sleep, keep the sword of discrimination at the head of your bed, so that covetousness cannot approach you even in dream. Practicing such strength, renunciation will gradually come, and then you will see the portals of heaven are wide open to you.
-Swami Vivekananda
