This isn’t an imaginary world…this is the 20th century in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA…allow me to explain.

This concise and clear discussion contains the essence of the thinking which has had such an effect on great thinkers such as John ...

In this Audio book, Dadashri has discussed the meaning of absolute and relative truth. Absolute truth "I" can never be destroyed, it is eternal. It belongs to the soul (atma).
