I appeal with folded hands to the readers of this book to start practising Karma Yoga in right earnest after digesting and assimilating the truths and ideals that are inculcated herein May the indweller of our hearts, the omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent Ishwara grant you all strength, peace, spiritual power, discrimination, alertness, far-sightedness to practise Karma Yoga and to realize the grand truths of the Upanishads after getting Chitta Suddhı through incessant and untiring selfless service, is the humble and earnest prayer of thy sevak and comrade
