This little book is an attempt to answer some of the typical questions posed by students as well as critics. These answers help remove misconceptions by offering explanations indicative of the origin of familiar ideas and institutions.
Bless people when they revile you. Think how much good they are doing by helping to stamp out the false ego. Hold fast to the real Self. Think only pure thoughts, and you will accomplish more than a regiment of mere preachers. Out of purity and silence comes the word of power.
-Swami Vivekananda
