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
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.
