A book on the Narada's aphorisms on devotion. Translation of each sutra with commentary, illustrated by quotations from various scriptures and examples from the lives of holy men of many religious traditions. Introduction by Christopher Isherwood.
Avoid excessive merriment. A mind in that state never becomes calm; it becomes fickle. Excessive merriment will always be followed by sorrow. Tears and laughter are near kin. People so often run from one extreme to the other.
-Swami Vivekananda
