The
book contains nine talks delivered by the author and one
Question-Answer Session conducted by her. The contents of the book
revolve round the point that life is neither individual nor collective
but one indivisible whole. The writer asks us to brush aside our
age-old concepts of dividing life into individual and collective, the
inner and the outer, the physical and the psychological in order to
escape from nervous tensions or chemical pressures that characterize
the activities of Man of this age. The writer traces the cause of our
misery to our ignorance of the mechanism of mind, the chemistry of
thoughts and emotions and the imbalances that shatter our nervous
system, and advises us for a clear understanding of our mental
processes, the relaxation of the mind, the cessation of its
activities-- the Ego or the `I` consciousness. In this state of total
relaxation a new quality of intelligence begins to function. With the
mind relaxed, the aspirant rises above Ego, is freed from worldly
desires and becomes established in God. This unique contribution to
yogic science constitutes remedies for our thousand ills and sufferings
and will be welcomed by the reader.
