In fact, the true realisation of reality cannot be obtained from books or through the senses, to reach it, one must withdraw from the world of senses into that of inner experience. So long as one remains subject to the dualistic delusions of nature, the Janus-faced Maya is his goddess, Call her Maya, Moha, Mithyatwa, Avidya, ignorance or delusion, she manifests herself in the identification of Soul with Matter or that of the Soul with the body, bodily conditions and bodily rela. tions, and is the sole cause of an individual Soul's wandering in the samsara--the round of births and deaths. Once you are free from her clutches, you easily and readily know the one true God, the very pure Soul which lies hidden in your Self, waiting to be revealed and realised. You achieve it, and you attain 'Eternal Bliss'.
I congratulate my friend, the authour, for writing this book, and thank him for giving me the opportunity to write its Foreword. I hope the book will be found interesting, instructive and useful,
