“The whole spirit of the book is candid in the extreme. It appeals
to what is best and noblest in man. It makes no foolish mysteries
and demands no blind belief. It puts forth its system in a plain and
simple manner. It is able to present its own method without in any
way attacking the method of others. It manifests a charity that it is
usual to call Christian but which Vivekânanda proves is equally the
property of the Hindu. If this little book had nothing to teach but the
beautiful toleration it advocates, it would be well worth reading; but
many will find in it valuable suggestions to aid in reaching the higher
life.”--_Arena_, Mar., 1897.
“A large part of the book is occupied with that method of attaining
perfection known as Râja Yoga, and there are also translations of a
number of aphorisms and an excellent glossary.”--_Living Age_, August
5th, 1899.
“A valuable portion of the volume to students is the glossary of
Sanskrit technical terms. This includes not only such terms as are
employed in the book, but also those frequently employed in works on
the Vedânta philosophy in general.”--_New York Times_, July 22d, 1899.
“A new edition with enlarged glossary, which will be welcomed by
students of comparative religion, who are already familiar with the
author’s lectures in this country.”--_Review of Reviews_, Oct., 1899.
“The methods of practical realization of the divine within the
human are applicable to all religions, and all peoples, and
only vary in their details to suit the idiosyncrasy of race and
individuals.”--_Post_, Washington, D. C., June 12th, 1899.

The Sayings of Sri Râmakrishna.
COMPILED BY
SWÂMI ABHEDÂNANDA
234 pages. Flexible cloth, gilt top, 75c. net. Postage, 4c.
Râmakrishna was a great Hindu saint of the nineteenth century who
has already had an influence on the religious thought of America and
England through the teachings of his disciples, Swâmi Vivekânanda,
Swâmi Abhedânanda, and others. His Sayings are full of broad practical,
non-sectarian instructions concerning the spiritual life which cannot
but give help and inspiration to the followers of all creeds. The
present volume contains a larger number of Sayings than has yet
appeared in any one English collection. For the first time also they
have been classified into chapters and arranged in logical sequence
under marginal headings, such as “All creeds paths to God,” “Power of
Mind and Thought,” “Meditation,” “Perseverance.” As an exposition of
the universal truths of Religion and their application to the daily
life this book takes its place among the great scriptures of the world.
