There are books on spirituality and religion galore, but focusing directly on Truth is a rare endeavour indeed. Swami Paramananda, in his eighteenth book, sheds light on that which is beyond words and infinitely subtle. Swamiji helps us have a glimpse of the nature of Truth and also cautions us about the infinite vastness underlying Truth, which is not merely the absence of lies, but essentially the state of freedom from all illusion and unconsciousness. He further reveals that Truth is the essence of the whole universe. Merely asking "What is Truth?' and expecting a reply is foolish, for Truth is a state – something to be lived and experienced with an awakened mind alone. And it is only under the guidance and by the grace of an enlightened being that one can have a glimpse of Truth. Through this revolutionary and thought-provoking book, Swami Paramananda again invites seekers and people in general to start looking beyond their narrow vision of existence: "Whatever is visible is a pointing finger in the direction of Truth. Every particle, flower, plant and creature – everything points towards that invisible no-thing called Truth. Nay, the whole visible cosmos is manifestation of Truth!"
