Originally published serially in Mother India from February 1949 till January 1951, this book presents Sri Aurobindo's views on the various important problems of life 'which arise in the minds of thoughtful persons everywhere'. The compiler formulated questions on such topics as the search for happiness, the problem of good and evil, morality and justice, science and materialism, art and the common man, and the intellectual and spiritual value of art, and then selected and organised passages from Sri Aurobindo's writings in answer to those questions. Except for the final one which was seen by the Mother, Sri Aurobindo approved each instalment before its publication.
