The problem of value erosion is an international issue today. With the advancement of modern science and critical enquiry, moral values have lost their hold on millions of people, especially under the force of the philosophy of materialism upheld by many scientists. Against this dark scenario, this book presents an answer to this problem through its philosophy of Vedanta which proclaims that the science of values is a link between the physical sciences and the science of spirituality. The author's brilliant exposition of the subject is not only convincing but also highly inspiring.
After every happiness comes misery; they may be far apart or near. The more advanced the soul, the more quickly does one follow the other. What we want is neither happiness nor misery. Both make us forget our true nature; both are chains--one iron, one gold; behind both is the Atman, who knows neither happiness nor misery. These are states, and states must ever change; but the nature of the Atman is bliss, peace, unchanging. We have not to get it, we have it; only wash away the dross and see it.
