Man has a natural tendency to love. He cannot do without loving somebody or something. Love stories are popular all over the world, but most of them are not inspiring, to say the least. And yet there are great love stories, which inspire and uplift. They help aspirants to move onward and forward on their Godward pilgrimage. Mira's is such a love story. With a feeling of blessedness we present to the readers this immortal story of her divine love.
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
