This book forms a companion volume to the Swami's Universal Prayers. In the Introduction a detailed and systematic account of the theory and practice of spiritual life is given. The main body of the book containing Sanskrit texts and their English translations, presents a large number of important scriptural passages through which the ancient sages and seers of India enlighten us on ethics, philosophy and practice of meditation.
Even the greatest fool can accomplish a task if it were after his or her heart. But the intelligent ones are those who can convert every work into one that suits their taste.
