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.
If a piece of burning charcoal be placed on a man's head, see how he struggles to throw it off. Similar will be the struggle for freedom of those who really understand that they are slaves of nature.
-Swami Vivekananda
