Mankind today is at the crossroads. It wants to believe, for it is no more able to face the aridity of the gospel of science. It seeks a religion, a faith, that can provide the inner comfort it lacks at present. In such a backdrop, the relevance of the religion and philosophy of Vedanta as one capable of satisfying both the head and heart of modern man needs no special stress. The author of this book precisely highlights the immense relevance and value of this great system of thought known as Vedanta, and the role it ought play in future in directing the forces of mankind towards higher and higher stratum of evolution.
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
