These thoughts and reminiscences of Nolini Kanta Gupta were written or spoken during the final decade of his life— from the time of the Mother's passing in November 1973 until shortly before his own passing in February 1984. During that period they served as a source of guidance and consolation to the Ashram community, and they still seem relevant today.
	</p>
	<br>
	<p class="para">
Many of these writings and talks were first presented to the students, young and old, of Nolini-da's classes. Later they were published in
	<i>The Advent, </i>a quarterly journal he edited, or in his Collected Works. Details about their publication and a life-sketch of the author are given at the end of the book.</p>
