The erosion of positive, life-building values is a major problem facing the present day society. The various topics discussed in this book all point to holistic living, as opposed to modern living which is bereft of spiritual insight. The holistic attitude of life can be cultivated and stability and integrity of life can be actualized by sincere efforts irrespective of our station in life.
Anything that is secret and mysterious in these systems of yoga should be at once rejected. The best guide in life is strength. In religion, as in all other matters, discard everything that weakens you, have nothing to do with it.
-Swami Vivekananda
