As suggested by the title, the book deals with the subject of Truth from the vantage point of Vedanta. The author, well known for his flair for expounding the eternal truths in terms of the scientific and rational thought patterns of the present day, successfully makes the readers apprise how in the light of those eternal truths human life and society can be elevated to a higher level of culture, harmony, and fulfilment
Those who have succeeded in attaching or detaching their minds at will have succeeded in Pratyahara, which means gathering towards, checking the outgoing powers of the mind, freeing it from the thralldom of the senses. When we can do this, we shall really possess character; then alone we shall have taken a long step towards freedom. Before that, we are mere machines.
