This volume contains the life-long spiritual experiences of the author. In his view although the discovery of God has been made till now by saints all over the world and their experiences recorded in the scriptures, the truth of them all has to be tested by our own rediscovery of the presence of the divine in us as well as in others and in the Nature outside Till this is not done by oneself with an initial but provisional faith in another person who has realized God, till one has not felt a vacuum in life which can never be filled by anything else except God, all talk about the divine presence and of the consequent joy and peace is nothing but moonshine. There are no shortcuts to the royal throne of God. Therefore, you, who wish not to be duped by falsehood, illusion, hallucina- tion and delusion or who have come under the woeful influence of drugs or of the pretenders and the rogues in the garb of Sadhus and the recluse, you who wish not to be carried away by poetic imagination, sexual imagery, and fantastic notions about the future arrival of the incar- nations of God amongst us and and a hundred and one such barren and superstitious ideas, you listen to us then with a faith to inquire and with a will to practise so that you will have in course of time, as the late Professor R. D. Ranade used to propound, a direct, concrete, and immediate contact with Reality.
