The quest for the secrets of a blessed life is an individual pursuit. Man, as he is, is incomplete, imperfect and unfinished. He has to reach inner completion through metanoia (transformation). Scholar and former President S Radhakrishnan had stated, "What is needed is not textual learning, vakyartha-jnana, but atma-jnana or self-knowledge."

The felicity of life lies in using one's intellect to find out whom one is and the divine principle within one. Everyone should first gain God, then gain wealth; not the contrary. If, after acquiring divine blessings, one leads a worldly life, one will never lose peace of mind.

This book reawakens the divine spark in humanity to lead one to a purposeful, peaceful and pleasant life. It reveals the secrets of living life, never ceasing, only progressing, for divine blessings.

ASHUTOSH KUMAR straddles several roles as a legal professional of repute, an acclaimed social leader and an eminent writer. His life has been dedicated to elevating the consciousness of the people and serving humanity for over three decades. Modest and soft-spoken, his is the story of middle class India, making his own identity through sheer hard work and passionate action. He has the unique distinction of being an alumnus of fifteen universities/institutions and having a diploma/certification in 21 courses.

Writing is Mr. Kumar's forte and he is also the author of the book "The Journey Towards Greatness: Learning from the Lives of Legends". Several awards and honours have been conferred on him, including Rashtrapati Rover Award, Rashtrapati Scout Award, Commonwealth Youth Programme Award and many more.

First and foremost, I bow before the Almighty for revealing the secrets of blessed life.

I owe a debt of gratitude to my family, especially my parents, Shri Chandra Bhushan Prasad Shrivastava and Smt. Anju Shrivastava, my wife, Sneha Gunjan, and my children, Pranjal Shrivastava and Priyanshi Shrivastava. Without their unwavering love, willingness and everlasting emotional support, I could never have hoped to be here.

Anything that is profound in life, deep and meaningful, is difficult to express in words. The realization of the divine's presence in life is such a feeling which cannot be expressed in words. The great remained silent when requested to unveil the ultimate secrets. When Pontius Pilate asked: "What is truth?" (John 18:38), Christ made no reply. Buddha, too, refused to shed light on the metaphysical ultimate. The Chinese mystic Lao-tzu rightly taught: "He who knows, tells it not; he who tells, knows it not." The mysteries of God always remained secret as spiritual masters remained silent. Initially, I was also hesitant to reveal the secrets which transformed my life and may also transform others. But finally, I have to bow before the desire of the divine that I should share secrets of a blessed life for the benefit of humanity.
