Although Swamiji’s poems are written in simple language, be it Sanskrit, Bengali or English, in some cases it is not easy to comprehend their meaning. The the reason may be that Swamiji penned the in a highly elevated state of mind. This book is a compilation of Swamji’s poems followed by commentary in prose that was greeted with warm reception at the time of its first appearance in Bengali. The present volume is an English version of the same.
I am the thread that runs through all these pearls, and each pearl is a religion or even a sect thereof. Such are the different pearls, and God is the thread that runs through all of them; most people, however, are entirely unconscious of it.
