The most comprehensive, authentic, and critical estimate of the life, sadhana, and teachings of Sri Ramakrishna. This book holds a unique place in hagiographical literature. The life-story of a divine personality worshipped by millions as an Incarnation of God has never been written in this wise by any one of his apostles. The book is not simply a biography of the latest Incarnation of the modern age; it combines a biography with a lucid study of the various cults of religion, mysticism and philosophy existing in India and elsewhere from the prehistoric times down to the modern era.

The important thing is how much less you think of the body, of yourself as matter -- as dead, dull, insentient matter; how much more you think of yourself as shining immortal being. The more you think of yourself as spirit, the more eager you will be to be absolutely free from matter, body and senses. This is the intense desire to be free.
-Swami Vivekananda
