This collection examines the topics of reincarnation and comprehension of the higher self, as well as a wide range of issues related to spiritual development. The collection includes two books by Ramakrishna’s disciple, Indian yogi, thinker and writer Swami Abhedananda (1866–1939) – “On Reincarnation” and “Self-Knowledge or Atma-jnana”. In the first book, in simple and understandable terms, the author explains to the reader the basic concepts associated with the phenomenon of reincarnation, simultaneously answering tricky questions and considering various evidence of the phenomenon of transmigration of souls. The second book is devoted to self-knowledge, which is the root of all knowledge, science, philosophy and religion. Therefore, every person seeking knowledge, striving for intellectual, moral and spiritual development, must first of all learn to recognize spirit and matter, soul and body, and then discover the divine “I” in himself, which is the eternal basis of the world. The publication is intended for a wide range of readers
