Synopsis: The word 'addiction' has become so common in this period that many people are somehow involved in this. What is addiction really, how does it happen, what is its basis and how to overcome it etc. In this book, Dadashri has shown various ways to get rid of addiction. One of the remedies is the four-step technique. A unique way, in which (1) To make a strong resolve that addiction is wrong, (2) To collect details on how it is wrong and keep in awareness, (3) Despite the decision, as often as addiction occurs again, ask for forgiveness and resolve never to repeat it again (4) Not to protect the mistake even if someone points at our mistake or insults us. After attaining Self-realization, many Mahatmas who attain their inner happiness get free from their addictions. However, for those who have ongoing addictions, Dadashri has made a distinction between addictions that are condemned by people and those that are not and have strictly warned against those addictions that begets criticism.
