"The longing of the whole soul of our being is referred to by the mystics as "the alone flying to the Alone."The more we think of it the more we will start liking it and the more we we will start liking it and the more we will get absorbed into it,and then the path will become very easy." An excerpt from the book abundantly explains the soul of the book.
