"The Truths he preaches would have been as true, had he never been born. Nay more, they would have been equally authentic. The difference would have lain in their difficulty of access, in their want of modern clearness & incisiveness of statement & in their loss of mental coherence & unity. Had he not lived, texts that today will carry the bread of life to thousands might have remained the obscure disputes of scholars. He taught with authority & not as one of the pundits. For he himself had plunged to the depths of the realization which he preached & he came back like Ramanuja, only to tell its secrets to the pariah, the outcast & the foreigner." - Sister Nivedita from the dust jacket of the book.
