Preface
The book Spiritual Unfoldment, an original work of Swami Abhedananda, was published by the Swami during his lifetime. The present sixteenth edition of the book has been composed in the modern D.T.P. process and printed neatly, dispensing with the use of old stereo-blocks, so as to improve the get- up of the book leaving the contents intact. It may be mentioned in this connection that the subject matters of the three chapters of the book were discussed by the Swami in his lectures delivered in the West during 1897-1898. The lecture titled 'Concentration' was delivered by the Swami in January-February 1897 in London at Victoria Street Hall in the morning in presence of a large audience. His mind was so much absorbed in the subject during his lecture that he could not take recognition of the English soldiers parading with Brass Band on the street adjacent to the hall. But the audience felt much disturbed. When the lecture was over, some amongst the audience Rev. Mr. Haweis (Chief of the Christian Church) and Miss Souter wanted to know if the Swami also felt the disturbance.
