About the Book:
This book covers the entire range of Vedantic thoughts and findings over three topics viz.
(i) What is life?
(ii) Mental Harmony: the True Spiritual Attainment; and
(iii) Secret of Self-Realization
It also gives a full description of the practical saadhana, which the seeker has to undertake and pursue for getting a direct realization of what he seeks.
Even though it is faith and acceptance that are normally considered paramount in religion, the role of reason and knowledge can in no way be denied even in a fruitful religious life. The book begins with enquiry into the common beliefs and practices. Then using simple but irrefutable logic, in a step-by-step approach, it is clearly shown that what we call life or living is in fact a revelation of our own inner SELF. This Self is indeed not different from what the religionists call "God", the philosophers call "Ultimate Reality", and the spiritualists call "Spirit" or "Consciousness".
The great secret behind samaadhi - the direct experience of the Self within - is explained. For a genuine seeker, this is the divine key to Ultimate Freedom, Immortality and Bliss.
It is to such seekers that this book is dedicated.
