Since I returned from Delhi some time ago, I have been writing in "Kalki", the Tamil weekly, a series of short articles explaining the teaching of Sri Ramakrishna to the best of my understanding and ability. I wrote the first few articles with great diffidence, but friends who read them encouraged me by expressing their appreciation. Thus, by the grace of God, I had the continued happiness of writing week after week on the teachings of Bhagavan Sri Ramakrishna.
This series of thirty-five chapters was completed on Deepavali day. Thanks to the kindness of the Sri Ramakrishna Math, the idea of bringing out these articles in book form was fulfilled. It was my good fortune that the authorities of the Math approved and accepted what I wrote. As Yama Dharmaraja taught Nachiketas, the vision of the Supreme cannot be attained by the mere study of Sastras; nor could knowledge of the Self come through subtlety of intellect or much learning or argument. The grace of God is the one thing necessary and for that the heart should melt in Bhakti. Bhakti is different from Sastric learning.
