“Science without religion is lame,” Einstein once declared, “and religion without science is blind.” Here is a short yet masterful summary of the principles and practices by which it is possible to attain direct, personal experience of higher Reality. 
The earliest of Paramahansa Yogananda's published works—an
amplification of his 1920 maiden speech in America, given
at the International Congress of Religious Liberals in Boston.
With penetrating logic, he reveals the spiritual yearning
that lies behind all human striving. Fulfillment of that ultimate
longing for transcendence, he explains, is attainable through
a science as universal and practical as the sciences on which
we rely for material knowledge and attainments.
“This small book offers the clue to the universe. Its value is beyond estimation in words....The essential point to be remarked about Paramahansa Yogananda's teaching, in contradistinction to that of European philosophers, such as Bergson, Hegel, and others, is that it is not speculative, but practical, even when dealing with the utmost reaches of metaphysics.”
