This book chiefly attempts to show how Swami Vivekananda's humanism differs drastically from that of other humanists. In fact, the readers will find in these stimulating pages that most of the humanists touched only the peripheral zone of man, whereas Vivekananda's humanism had a far-reaching significance in the estimation of values in human life. His humanism is divine in its nature as it touches the central core of man.
I do not want to get material life, do not want the sense-life, but something higher. That is renunciation. Then, by the power of meditation, undo the mischief that has been done.
-Swami Vivekananda
