Contains a bouquet of thought-provoking essays by Swami Swahananda of the Ramakrishna Order. All the essays are remarkable for their clarity of thought, depth of insight, comprehensiveness of vision and lucidity of expression. They cover quite a wide spectrum of the problems confronting the truth seekers in these days and will amply repay careful study.
What the world wants is character. The world is in need of those whose life is one burning love--selfless. That love will make every word tell like a thunderbolt. Awake, awake, great souls! The world is burning in misery. Can you sleep? Work unto death--I am with you, and when I am gone, my spirit will work with you. This life comes and goes--wealth, fame, enjoyments are only of a few days. It is better, far better, to die on the field of duty, preaching the truth than to die like a worldly worm. Advance!
-Swami Vivekananda
