The book is fairly a comprehensive study of the Social Philosophy of Swami Vivekananda, who is hailed today as a prophet of human emancipation in many parts of the world. The author shows that Vivekananda�s Social Philosophy based on Vedanta (recognized by many as the background philosophy of modern science) contains a revolutionary concept of �Man�, a revolutionary concept of �Religion� and a revolutionary concept of �Revolution� itself.
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.
-Swami Vivekananda
