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.
This world is nothing. It is at best only a hideous caricature, a shadow of the Real. We must go to the Real. Renunciation will take us to It. Renunciation is the very basis of our true life; every moment of goodness and real life that we enjoy is when we do not think of ourselves.
