Every day we have some problems, and they do not solve themselves. But we can soar above the worries that accompany them. A crowd of a thousand voices is roaring around - but inside us it is quiet; we are spinning in a whirlpool of affairs - but our soul rests calmly; and even in the heat of battle we can be in peace and tranquility. The twenty chapters that make up this book are not formally connected in any way. However, they are all sustained in the same spirit and guide us on the path of self-knowledge and humility, which will lift us high, high above the vanity of the world, to where the mountains reach their peaks into the Kingdom of Heaven.
