Book Description
Back of the Book
Whether you sit down to meditation or go about and do things and work, is required of you is consciousness; that is the one need, - to be constantly conscious of the Divine......
A discipline in itself is not what we are seeking. What we are seeking is to be concentrated on the divine in all that we do, at all times, in all our acts and in every movement.
