This book is based on the notes of weekly lectures given by Swami Yatiswarananda at Ramakrishna Math, Bangalore. The Swami, a Vice-President of the Ramakrishna Order, was an illustrious disciple of Swami Brahmananda. He was a well-known spiritual figure in the Neo-Vedanta movement and did 17 years of pioneering work (1933-1950) in spreading Vedanta in Europe and USA.
Who will bring light to the poor? Who will travel from door to door bringing education to them? Let these people be your God -- think of them, work for them, pray for them incessantly. The Lord will show you the way.
-Swami Vivekananda
