This booklet contains striking passages which are culled from Swami Chinmayananda's works, his letters to his devotees and his answers to their questions. Many of these passages appeared in 'Chinmaya's WIsdom Capsules', a booklet published by Chinmaya Mission, Chennai, mainly for distribution among its members. These collections have guided, inspired and illumined many seekers of Truth and it is hoped that all real seekers hwo may care to read them will be similarly benefited. If a few passages alone, culled at random from Swamiji's letters and utterances, have evoked inhis devotees considerable spiritual fervour, it is needless to say that a close study of all his works will undoutedly give a great impetus to their spiritual pursuits.

Undoubtedly, a great book to know the concepts related to Sanatana Dharma. It only gives a glimpse of the concepts. For a beginner, the language and concepts may seem difficult to understand in one go. But it surely sparks the curiosity to study the related literature to gain deeper knowledge and understanding.
