This book will be of profound interest to readers who are in search of a philosophy of life beyond empty materialism, and to those who seek to base their religious faith on a scientific and rational foundation.

The book has special significance in the modern world where the secular and the spiritual need to be balanced, both at the personal as well as the national level, if peace, fulfillment and harmony are to prevail. Its non-controversial vision of Reality can also serve to meet the need to unify and harmonize the different religions another need of the hour.
