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.
We must have friendship for all; we must be merciful toward those that are in misery; when people are happy, we ought to be happy; and to the wicked we must be indifferent. These attitudes will make the mind peaceful.
-Swami Vivekananda
