It shows the readers the technique of converting the mundane activities of everyday life into a means of attaining supreme felicity.
The moment you fear, you are nobody. It is fear that is the great cause of misery in the world. It is fear that is the greatest of all superstitions. It is the fear that is the cause of our woes, and it is fearlessness that brings heaven in a moment.
-Swami Vivekananda
