________________
PREFACE
The views expressed in this book represent my own understanding of the Truth about the self and the Universe. It is likely that some of these ideas may not be acceptable to everyone. But there is no intention to injure anyone's feelings or show disrespect to any faith, personality or God. I beg to be excused if anyone feels emotionally hurt by any statement made in the book, which has been written - in the fearless and rational style of a scientist free from mythology and dogma.
The author is not an expert in spiritual matters nor has he any special spiritual conduct. The book is, therefore, not meant for specialists in the subject. It is a dialogue between laymen in their own language free from highly technical terms, allegorical description or dry philosophical treatment. The matter has been dealt with in a manner easily understood by a modern educated person.
If the book is able to arouse the interest of the reader in the subject, the purpose would be fully served.
