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.
The disciple must have great power of endurance. Life seems comfortable; and you find the mind behaves well when everything is going well with you. But if something goes wrong, your mind loses its balance. That is not good. Bear all evil and misery without one murmur of hurt, without one thought of unhappiness, resistance, remedy, or retaliation. That is true endurance; and that you must acquire.
