This book, as the title suggests, is a recording of a question-and-answer session held at the Vedanta Society of Chicago in 1982. The session covered a wide range of subjects relevant to modern world such as reincarnation, incarnation of God, the guru, the role of Advaita Vedanta in the present world, the relation between science and religion, the problem of conversion in religion, the caste system, the position of women in India, and so forth. The author's lucid replies address the pressing problems of the present day.
Those who work at a thing heart and soul not only achieve success in it but through their absorption in that they also realize the supreme truth -- Brahman. Those who work at a thing with their whole heart receive help from God.
-Swami Vivekananda
