This book attempts to highlight the truth of life which many of us do not know. Many of us consider our present existence to be the truth of life. But according to scholars, philosophers and researchers, our present momentary persona is only a bubble on the ocean of our eternal existence. Almost all ancient philosophies and modern science have established that each of us is immortal, because soul we possess exists forever. This book explains with reference to philosophical thoughts and scientific research studies that death we know applies to the physical body only, but not to the soul. The soul is infinite and omnipresent. So, after every death soul enters into a new body in its long journey towards Salvation. This book has also refers to philosophical explanation that the Supreme Soul or the Brahman is only the Real; all other else are not real. Precisely, the Real Man is one one and each of us is only a limitation of the Real Man. It’s all God’s play.

No matter how much is learned, if that learning remains in our heads, it is not enough. Unless learning touches our hearts, it's never going to bring us the wisdom we seek, the peace we desire, or the intimacy and connection for which we yearn. A new and more receptive way of knowing is needed, and is found in this course for the heart. "A Course of Love" was received by Mari Perron and given to be a "new" course in miracles. It is for the heart what "A Course in Miracles" is for the mind. For many, it is the next step in a journey already begun.

Then, it describes the concept of God for world's several major religions including Hinduism, Sikhism, Judaism, and others. The book ends with a detailed analysis of concept of God in Islam and how it perfects the concept of God.

In World History as the History of Foundations, 3000 BCE to 1500 CE, Michael Borgolte investigates the origins and development of foundations from Antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages. In his survey foundations emerge not as mere legal institutions, but rather as “total social phenomena” which touch upon manifold aspects, including politics, the economy, art and religion of the cultures in which they emerged. Cross-cultural in its approach and the result of decades of research, this work represents by far the most comprehensive account of the history of foundations that has hitherto been published.
