The book is fairly a comprehensive study of the Social Philosophy of Swami Vivekananda, who is hailed today as a prophet of human emancipation in many parts of the world. The author shows that Vivekananda�s Social Philosophy based on Vedanta (recognized by many as the background philosophy of modern science) contains a revolutionary concept of �Man�, a revolutionary concept of �Religion� and a revolutionary concept of �Revolution� itself.
Those who have succeeded in attaching or detaching their minds at will have succeeded in Pratyahara, which means gathering towards, checking the outgoing powers of the mind, freeing it from the thralldom of the senses. When we can do this, we shall really possess character; then alone we shall have taken a long step towards freedom. Before that, we are mere machines.
-Swami Vivekananda
