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.
This world is nothing. It is at best only a hideous caricature, a shadow of the Real. We must go to the Real. Renunciation will take us to It. Renunciation is the very basis of our true life; every moment of goodness and real life that we enjoy is when we do not think of ourselves.
-Swami Vivekananda
