About the Book
"Herein lies the whole secret of Existence. Waves may roll over the surface and tempest rage, but deep down there is the stratum of infinite calmness, infinite peace, and of infinite bliss. 'Blessed are they that sorrow, for they shall be comforted.' And why? Because it is during these moments of visitations-when the heart is wrung by hands which never stop for the father's cries or the mother's wail, when under the load of sorrow, dejection, and despair, the world seems to be cut off from under our feet, and when the whole horizon seems to be nothing but an impenetrable sheet of misery and utter despair-the internal eyes open, light flashes all of a sudden, the dream vanishes, and intuitionally we come face to face with the grandest mystery in nature-Existence.
"Yes-then, it is when the load would be sufficient to sink a lot of frail vessels-[that] the man of genius, of strength, the hero, sees that infinite, absolute, ever-blissful Existence per se, that Infinite Being Who is called and worshipped under different names, in different climes. Then it is-when for a time the shackles that bind it [the soul] down to this hole of misery break, as it were, for a time, the unfettered soul rises and rises until it reaches the throne of the Lord 'where the wicked cease to torment and the weary are at rest'."
