This book is a collection of articles on the theme of health and medical science in the light of ethics, religion and spirituallity by Swami Brahmeshananda. The author has personally faced the problem of declining ethical codes in the practice of medicine during his more than three decades of practice as a medical consultant. Though the compiled articles are independent in themselves, and were written during a span of more than fifteen years, they have a common theme: search for values in the field of health and medicine. The book is primarily addressed to the medical professionals, but we are sure, it will prove enlightening for lay readers too
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.
-Swami Vivekananda
