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.
By doing well the duty which is nearest to us, the duty which is in our hands now, we make ourselves stronger; and improving our strength in this manner step by step, we may reach a state in which it shall be our privilege to do the most coveted and honored duties in life and in society.
-Swami Vivekananda
