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.
The disciple must have great power of endurance. Life seems comfortable; and you find the mind behaves well when everything is going well with you. But if something goes wrong, your mind loses its balance. That is not good. Bear all evil and misery without one murmur of hurt, without one thought of unhappiness, resistance, remedy, or retaliation. That is true endurance; and that you must acquire.
-Swami Vivekananda
