This book chiefly attempts to show how Swami Vivekananda's humanism differs drastically from that of other humanists. In fact, the readers will find in these stimulating pages that most of the humanists touched only the peripheral zone of man, whereas Vivekananda's humanism had a far-reaching significance in the estimation of values in human life. His humanism is divine in its nature as it touches the central core of man.
May I be born again and again, and suffer thousands of miseries so that I may worship the only God that exists, the only God I believe in, the sum total of all souls--and, above all, my God the wicked, my God the miserable, my God the poor of all races, of all species, is the special object of my worship.
-Swami Vivekananda
