This book is a collection of the talks given by His Holiness Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati on different occasions over a period of several months. The talks have been classified and arranged in a sequence just as a goldsmith fashions a necklace of gems from stray stones, after selection and setting. There are chapters on right living, pursuit of happiness, true education, purification of the mind, and need for strenuous effort. The goal is pointed out clearly and the way is shown with such simplicity that even a child can understand. Like all great sages, the Jagadguru has expressed the most sublime truths in simple homely similes and anecdotes.
The book should appeal even to those who seek happiness, real and true happiness in this world, laying emphasis as it does on good conduct and right attitude to the world around us.
