In the pages of this book are recorded inspiring incidents from the day-to-day life in various centres of Ramakrishna Math and Mission giving the readers an idea of what life is like in the monasteries of the Ramakrishna Order in India. Self-effacement, dedication to a spiritual ideal, insights into spiritual matters � the book has much to motivate. A generous helping of humour and practical jokes makes the narrative lively and highly readable.
Discriminate within yourself between the real and the unreal. Have you not read the Vedanta? Even when you sleep, keep the sword of discrimination at the head of your bed, so that covetousness cannot approach you even in dream. Practicing such strength, renunciation will gradually come, and then you will see the portals of heaven are wide open to you.
-Swami Vivekananda
