Hindu scriptures, the contributions of sages who visualized the ultimate principles
through their intuitive power, successfully unfold the science of divine propriety
as a way out of the baneful influences of materialism. The author of this book
represents those who attach more importance to the divine fiber in mankind than
the outward phenomenon of prosperity. This bold exposition of the truth might
raise reactions in modern Indologists in India and abroad, but at the same time
compels the reader to see that the modern world at present is suffering from
prosperity and not from poverty. But then all this cannot be challenged now
because the author is no more in this world and his thoughts remain his last
words on this subject.
