________________ Preface Everyone longs for happiness and strives his best for it. The world appears however unhappy except a very few in it. How is it that the world is miserable in spite of its efforts for happiness ? This question is very easy to be solved. It is a distinct matter that a desired object is inaccessible, or difficult to be attained, anless propor means are secured. Desired objects require proper requisites to be fulfilled. If we wish for happiness, if we desire to make ourselves really happy, we should at first realize the way to its attainment. But it must be borne in mind that only realization or perception of means will not be sufficient. Nothing can be accomplished by means of only knowledge. Knowledge should be put into practice, then and then only the desired object can be attained. If we compare our life to a vebisle, it wants indispensably the two wheels: knowledge and practice. Then its progress is possible, not otherwise. So Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
