The present volume is a collection of Swami Satprakashananda's talks on different aspects of Vedanta. His exposition of the subtle nuances of Vedanta is charming and reader-friendly. In an almost conversational tone he discusses the why and wherefore of morality, the role of the spiritual teacher, the aura of meditation, the dichotomy of good and evil, the enigma of Maya, the inter-relation between reason, volition, and emotion, the use of symbols, the significance of spiritual visions, the power of mantras, and also explores the question of what happens after death.
This world is nothing. It is at best only a hideous caricature, a shadow of the Real. We must go to the Real. Renunciation will take us to It. Renunciation is the very basis of our true life; every moment of goodness and real life that we enjoy is when we do not think of ourselves. - Swami Vivekananda
