This little book appeals, perhaps, to the Eastern rather than to the Western type of mind, but so many souls trained in the East are now being reincarnated in the West that it may find friendly [listeners] away from the land of its birth.

Addressed to a purely Hindu audience, the lectures contain many common Sanskrit words, familiar to every Hindu, that may sound strange in the ears of [listeners] of other faiths; but it seems better to retain them, for those who object to them will object to the whole Eastern coloring of the booklet, and the changing of a few words would not shape the lectures to meet their views.

To some, it will carry a message deeper and sweeter than the more conventional and colder West is yet ready to welcome. For such souls it was spoken; let others pass it by.
