Even after having stepped into the third millennium characterized by stupendous scientific and technological progress, the world today is witnessing a shocking erosion of ethical and spiritual values all around. In this backdrop a keen need is being felt for combining service with spiritual life, and spiritual life with service, for enriching the quality of both, as an effective panacea for this canker on the world body. This small booklet precisely provides that relieving balm. It is compiled from the numerous inspiring letters penned by Swami Vivekananda. Highly motivating, this book shows us the way to connect the apparently divergent currents of life?Salvation and Service.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and everything shall be added unto you. This is the one great duty, this is renunciation. Live for an ideal, and leave no place in the mind for anything else. Let us put forth all our energies to acquire that which never fails--our spiritual perfection. If we have true yearning for realization, we must struggle, and through struggle growth will come. We shall make mistakes, but they may be angels unawares.
-Swami Vivekananda
