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.
Understanding human nature is the highest knowledge, and only by knowing it can we know God. It is also a fact that the knowledge of God is the highest knowledge, and only by knowing God can we understand human nature.
-Swami Vivekananda
