About The Book

The Secrets of Human Life by V.S. Khandekar delves into the essence of human existence, exploring the three fundamental aspects of life that define its true purpose. Khandekar outlines the balance between personal happiness and progress, the responsibilities towards family, and the duty to contribute to society. A person’s life is truly fulfilled when all these debts—personal, familial, and societal—are satisfied harmoniously, with no conflict between them.

In this compelling book, Khandekar introduces us to a range of characters, each representing different aspects of life and human behavior. Anand is a symbol of selfless sacrifice, while Appa and Bhayya are depicted as individuals who shirk responsibility and impose it on others. Manik is a hopeless yet educated girl who struggles to recognize a noble mind, and Usha represents the repressed individual, silent in both joy and sorrow. These characters convey the message that blindly adhering to customs and traditions can be detrimental not only to an individual but also to society at large.

The author emphasizes that while sacrifice is highly valued, it must always be for a noble cause. This timeless view, originally stated in 1939, remains relevant today, urging readers to rethink their understanding of sacrifice, duty, and societal values.

This thought-provoking book is a must-read for those interested in understanding the deeper philosophical and moral aspects of life, making it a valuable addition to the collection of anyone who seeks to live a balanced, responsible, and fulfilling life.
