The topics discussed in this book pertain not to any particular event in history, but deal essentially with the broad sweep of the modern age and with the vital role that India must play, both spiritual and practical, in this age if she is to attain her full potential?a consummation from which the world will necessarily benefit. Originally these articles were published as editorials in the monthly journal Prabuddha Bharata in the later half of the 1920s and had created a stir in the India's intellectual, nationalist, and religious circles, being extremely thoughtful and deeply inspiring.
If a person who lives in God becomes miserable, what is the use of living in God? What is the use of such a God? Throw such a God overboard into the Pacific Ocean. We do not want such a God!
-Swami Vivekananda
