Back of the Book

Truth, Beauty and Goodness are interrelated. While Beauty is the garment of Truth, Goodness is Beauty revealed in action. Many philosophers and poets have spoken about the identity of these three aspects of Reality, how each one leads to the other. Discovery of Truth or Beauty is the natural aspiration of every right thinking individual. Clarity and undisturbed serenity are essential requirements for perceiving Truth. These qualifications cannot be acquired in the absence of pure and righteous living. The talks in this volume not only establish the identity of Truth, Beauty and Goodness, but also indicate the way to their discovery. A study of this collection may help the reader to delve deeply into the fundamental values enshrined in the Indian scriptural saying.
