This is a book of the de-mystification of beliefs and myths. Understand the significance through this example. A person sees a snake and is terrified. He searches around frantically and looks for a stick and gathers a crowd to chase it away. He raises a hullabaloo to deal with the situation. But when light is thrown on the snake it actually turns out to be a rope. Instead of asking for a stick (power, strength to deal with troubles) if he had asked for a torch (knowledge to throw light on the true nature of the troubles) he would have been leading a beautiful, smooth, tension free life.

The book is a compilation of all the popular myths that sap our time, energy and mislead us from our purpose. It acts as the torch on these myths, revealing their true nature. The gamut ranges from common day superstitions, myths about one’s beliefs of success to those of Self Realisation. Even when close to the door of the highest possibility of human birth, one could stop due to a belief in a myth.
