Only one who has found peace within himself can possibly be trusted to lead mankind to peace! The restless social and political leaders of the world, hankering after power, position, prestige, name and fame, how can they show the way to peace unless they themselves sit at the divine feet of a Man-of-God and imbibe the Peace that flows from his Presence?

This volume is meant for those who aspire for peace within themselves and who would promote world peace-who would not? It is the Publishers’ Prayer that it will prove to be a timely guide to save mankind from wars, riots and ill-will and from disharmony and discord.
