In this book, Swami Chetanananda addresses the issue of meditation and the manner in which the practice of meditation may lead the seeker to actually “see” God. The various chapters focus on how Ramakrishna himself can become an object of meditation: his physical form, his mind, his divine qualities, and so forth. The book is also a rich source of anecdotes from the life of Ramakrishna.
