Modern man is a victim of various conflicting forces which stand in the way of his discovering himself. In the pages of this book are discussed some of the problems which tend to obscure the spiritual vision of man in the present age, and the possibility of his transcending them.
Those who grumble at the little thing that has fallen to their lot to do will grumble at everything. Always grumbling, they will lead a miserable life, and everything will be a failure. But those who do their duties as they go, putting their shoulders to the wheel, will see the light, and higher duties will fall to their share.
-Swami Vivekananda
