This new collection of essays by Dr. Karan Singh on diversified areas of life and ideas, bring out the range, consistency and integrity of his thought. While restating in contemporary idioms the eternal wisdom of the Upanishads, he develops a world-view which stresses the need for a value-based political and educational system. His own philosophy of life, involving a synthesis between outer activity and inner aspiration, emerges from these pages in clear and cogent prose. This volume reveals an integrated personality, a lively mind with a refreshingly positive approach to the problems that humanity faces as it encounters the twenty first century.
