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.
Your Atman is the support of the universe -- whose support do you stand in need of? Wait with patience and love and strength. If helpers are not ready now, they will come in time. Why should we be in a hurry? The real working force of all great work is in its almost unperceived beginnings.
-Swami Vivekananda
