Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj advocates universal brotherhood as the need of the present day and shows us that it is only achievable by adopting the principles of Vedic philosophy. There are two types of peace: momentary and eternal, and it is the eternal happiness that we seek, unattainable through the acquisition of anything or anyone in this world. Peace of the soul can only be attained by attaining God because the soul is an eternal part of Him. Therefore, only spiritual upliftment can bring about peace and happiness. Just as the closer you move to fire, the warmer you feel, the closer we get to God, the happier and more content we will be.
Over four chapters compiled from discourses given by Kripalu Ji Maharaj, a compelling case is presented to move in a spiritual direction and attain everlasting, infinite peace and happiness. Kripaluji discusses how to achieve peace in the world through the realization of happiness (God) within, the harmony spirituality requires with materialism and the proliferous fraudulence taking place in India in the name of spirituality.
