The book is a conversation between Anjli Singh and Pujya Swamiji. Have reproduced excerpts from the book. A few sentences by Swamiji in the beginning of the book, ‘‘When an action becomes a habit it is time to wean oneself away by going in moderation.’ ‘Friends, how do you get rid of such persistent pursuers whose intentions are so noble?’ ‘No action is absolutely good or absolutely bad. Action itself is in a relative world; it is not in the absolute. Action is a relative manifestation of reality’. ‘In rational thinking, you are judging today with reference to your entire past experience, called wisdom, which is recorded in the memory. With reference to that we try to judge the present. The more you compromise with it, the more the conscience is ill at ease”.

“Upon Om, Atman, your Self, place your meditation. Glory unto you in your far-away journey beyond darkness”. Mundaka Upanishad. The part has three chapters –

1. General Ethics - includes what is morality, criteria for judgment of an action, conflicting standpoints, fallacies and guidelines for judgment.
2. Religion & Morality - includes its relationship, trusting instincts, imparting values to children, non-violence, service, duty and meditation.
3. Social Issues - includes abortion, sati, ethical lapses during the Mahabharata war and vegetarianism.
