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 Atman alone is eternal. Hospitals will tumble down. Railroad givers will all die. This earth will be blown to pieces, suns wiped out. The Atman endures for ever.
-Swami Vivekananda
