About the Book:
This fascinating book is based upon the wisdom of the ancient Upanishads, the Mandukya Upanishad in particular, which imparts the highest wisdom of Sanathana Dharma, or the Perennial Philosophy of India.
By detailed analysis of the four states of man, i.e. waking state, dream-sleep state, deep-sleep state, and daydreaming state-the states which are within the personal experience of most of mankind-the author proves logically and convincingly the ultimate truth, and the truth of the real nature of man and the physical universe. He takes the reader on a journey where the signposts are not any religious dogma or article of faith, but the readers' own power of intellect and intuition. This fascinating journey ends in total fulfilment and certitude. The book depicts the outcome of detailed analysis of pure logic in the field of God and His cosmos. It does not resort to any narrow restraint in order to reveal and prove beyond doubt the Secret of Creation.
