The purpose of life is Self-Realization. God, whom all of us are searching for, is sitting in our own heart as our Self. Soul is a spark of the Self and it feels separated from the Self due to ego and karma. Through prayer and meditation, the ego could be erased when the soul enters into union with the Self and this is known as Self-realization or God-realization. Upanishads are the source books on the wisdom of the Self. So also the Bhagavad-Gita and Bible. All that is to be said about the Self is said here in this small book, in a nutshell. Beautiful stories and parables are also written so as to make abstract points clear and the reading enjoyable. The aim of this book is to inspire the readers to meditate and realize the Self. 131 pgs., 1976 (shipping weight: .5 lb.)
