The Holy Bible is the one book which is most preached on which enormous money is being spent and which is owned by the largest number of people in the world. Among those who own this book it is doubtful whether one in a thousand has closely studied it. A perusal of this booklet will give a glimpse into the contents of the Holy Bible and their ethical and spiritual values in the light of Vedanta which is the last word in man's enquiry into Truth.
After every happiness comes misery; they may be far apart or near. The more advanced the soul, the more quickly does one follow the other. What we want is neither happiness nor misery. Both make us forget our true nature; both are chains--one iron, one gold; behind both is the Atman, who knows neither happiness nor misery. These are states, and states must ever change; but the nature of the Atman is bliss, peace, unchanging. We have not to get it, we have it; only wash away the dross and see it.
