Most people exist, but do not live. The marvellous advance of science and technology is showering on us comforts and luxuries galore, but impart no meaning or purpose to life. Poets bewail this 'strange disease of modern life'. The author, who has interacted with young men and women at various levels in India and abroad, argues convincingly about the ways in which the youth can develop their minds and find fulfilment.
The important thing is how much less you think of the body, of yourself as matter -- as dead, dull, insentient matter; how much more you think of yourself as shining immortal being. The more you think of yourself as spirit, the more eager you will be to be absolutely free from matter, body and senses. This is the intense desire to be free.
