Thus Illusmines

by Swami Sivananda

Human life is sacred, because it is related to the Divine Life, and this relation of the human to the Divine is not an external contact or a feeling of any possession but an inseparable dependence, and a Self-inclusion of Spirit in itself.

H.H. Sri Swami Sivanandaji has, in this illuminating booklet, served a variety of dishes to the hungry soul aspiring to reach the consummation of its existence, in this Divine Experience. Intensely practical, pointed and suitable to every occasion, this piece of spiritual literature, we hope, will meet a pressing demand from the world of seekers.

Sri Swamiji Maharaj, filled with cosmic love, has churned out the Scriptures of every sort and collecting the very cream of them all, the ambrosia of life, has presented in this booklet, for the ready consumption of everyone on earth.
