Globalization is not simply about opening up the economy; it is about restructuring of society and the way we live. This book discusses the various aspects of globalization and how the religions of the world can help us learn to live with it and adapt it to our needs.
Some people are so afraid of losing their individuality. Wouldn't it be better for the pig to lose his pig-individuality if he can become God? Yes. But the poor pig does not think so at the time. Which state is my individuality? When I was a baby sprawling on the floor trying to swallow my thumb? Was that the individuality I should be sorry to lose? Fifty years hence I shall look upon this present state and laugh, just as I now look upon the baby state. Which of these individualities shall I keep?
-Swami Vivekananda
