Modern man tossed up and down the tempest of worldly duties and responsibilities is, many a times, not surprisingly, found to be dejected and depressed. He desperately tries to take hold of some external prop to once again stand on his feet. This booklet is packed with electrifying thoughts which have the power to lift up every drooping soul back to its state of inherent power and strength. These very vigorous words of Swami Vivekananda have been instrumental in bringing about a drastic awakening in the collective and the individual minds, and in boosting them to move ahead with tremendous confidence towards the goal.
The important thing is how much less you think of the body, of yourself as matter -- as dead, dull, insentient matter; how much more you think of yourself as shining immortal being. The more you think of yourself as spirit, the more eager you will be to be absolutely free from matter, body and senses. This is the intense desire to be free.
-Swami Vivekananda
