“The whole spirit of the book is candid in the extreme. It appeals to what is best and noblest in man. It makes no foolish mysteries and demands no blind belief. It puts forth its system in a plain and simple manner. It is able to present its own method without in any way attacking the method of others. It manifests a charity that it is usual to call Christian but which Vivekânanda proves is equally the property of the Hindu. If this little book had nothing to teach but the beautiful toleration it advocates, it would be well worth reading; but many will find in it valuable suggestions to aid in reaching the higher life.”—Arena, Mar., 1897.
“A large part of the book is occupied with that method of attaining perfection known as Râja Yoga, and there are also translations of a number of aphorisms and an excellent glossary.”—Living Age, August 5th, 1899.
“A valuable portion of the volume to students is the glossary of Sanskrit technical terms. This includes not only such terms as are employed in the book, but also those frequently employed in works on the Vedânta philosophy in general.”—New York Times, July 22d, 1899.
