About the Book
This profound English work explores the nature of Truth as complete, whole, and all-encompassing—the ultimate substratum of existence. Truth, as presented here, has no alternative or substitute; it alone is real, embracing even what appears as non-truth. The central inquiry of the book is whether Truth can be known by an individual who seems to be only a small part of the whole. Drawing on a powerful metaphor, the text explains that just as a bubble can know the ocean only by bursting and becoming the ocean itself, one can know Truth only by becoming it. “To know is to become” stands as the core teaching.
The book emphasizes the Vedantic path taught by Swami Rama Tirtha: the denial of the little self and the assertion of the Real Self. The little self—ego, identity, and personality—must be transcended to realize Divinity. This transformation, the author explains, is achieved not through withdrawal from life but through living Vedanta in action. Intense, engrossing, selfless work becomes the means of rising above ego, where work itself turns into worship.
Through clear explanations and practical insights, the text highlights how total involvement in work dissolves self-consciousness, allowing the body, mind, and intellect to function beyond personal limitations. Readers are guided to keep the body in active struggle while the mind rests in love and peace, making labour impersonal and free from strain. When work is done in the spirit of an unaffected witness, the sense of doership disappears, and true freedom is attained.
This book is a valuable guide for spiritual seekers, students of Vedanta, and readers interested in applying spiritual philosophy to everyday life. Compact yet deeply reflective, it offers timeless wisdom on self-transcendence, work, and the realization of Truth.
