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.
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life -- think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, and this is the way great spiritual giants are produced. Others are mere talking machines.
-Swami Vivekananda
