This booklet has been compiled from articles published in various periodicals and personal letters of Jibendra Kumar Gupta.
Truth, says Sri Aurobindo, is the basis of spirituality and courage is its soul. With love of God, says Vivekananda, will come as a sure effect, the love of everyone in the Universe and we shall begin to see Him in all existences and all existences in Him. This is at once a test, a warning and an admonition to those who delude themselves into thinking that they are loving God when in reality they do nothing but love themselves and hate .and condemn and criticise others. Mere physical contact with the spiritual guide and preceptor is of no avail if the seeker does not foster the growth of truth, courage and love in his being. Where truth and courage and love are lacking, there is not only no spirituality but even the very foundation of spiritual life has hardly been laid. This is an elementary lesson which all seekers of God should always bear in mind. Otherwise, all their efforts for spiritual realisation are likely to come to nought.
An absolute supernatural darkness falls
On man sometimes when he draws near to God :
