This book draws parallels between Sri Ramakrishna's teachings and the words of the scriptures. It thus serves as a commentary on the Master's teachings and helps us to understand them better.
The animal has its happiness in the senses, the human beings in their intellect, and the gods in spiritual contemplation. It is only to the soul that has attained to this contemplative state that the world really becomes beautiful.
-Swami Vivekananda
