In this work trhe author puts forward a theory that leads one to question the very basis of all exoteric rituals and religions. He has very cleanly defined al the very outset that most people find any discourse on religion and the realization of the self as esoteric, since ancient wisdom involves teaching the profoundest mysticism. Even the Buddha said, 'Work out your own salvation and diligence'.

The book, through a series of reported discourses and teachings suggests that life is a series of experiment in which the believer will always be confronted with different levels of truth. It is for the self to decide judiciously which level will suit him or her and which is the best way to self fulfilment.

The author has delved deeply into Hindu Philosophy, Buddhist learning, and Sufism which he refers to as 'Ancient Wisdom' and which he points out differs from Western Philosophy.
