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
This world is nothing. It is at best only a hideous caricature, a shadow of the Real. We must go to the Real. Renunciation will take us to It. Renunciation is the very basis of our true life; every moment of goodness and real life that we enjoy is when we do not think of ourselves.
-Swami Vivekananda
