means of austerites, penance, good thoughts etc, one is able to demolish the effect of evil Karmas during their dormant state before they manifest their effect by explosion. But the dismal phenomenon that is visible is that man wants happiness which is the fruit of religion but abhors practising religion. He does not want pain but does sin merrily which is the progenitor of pain. The reason is that under the influence of delusion, man envisages happiness in material resources which in fact is brittle, fugitive, short-lived and dependent. But he does not work for real happiness which is abiding, permanent, perfect, imperishable and unadulterated with pain and lies latent in the soul. This state of the soul, which is the status of Godhood is unfolded when it is freed from any vestige of Karma,
This book delineates the modus operandi of exterminating the evil forces of karma and thus attaining to the status of Godhood.
May I lastly add that is it quite an arduous task to reproduce the elegance and dignity of the original through the refractory medium of a foreign language. However, I have tried my best to make the English translation as faithful to the original as possible. I tender my apologies to the Rev. Munishri and the readers for any distortion or deviation in meaning in translation. in English from the orignial or the scriptural teaching.
