In Woods of God-Realization (Set of 7 Volumes)- The Complete Works of Swami Rama Tirtha
Author : Swami Rama Tirtha
Rama lays claim to no mission. All missions are his. He is you and you are he. No Plurality. No Duality. This is the Truth: Rama expounds, Rama lives, Rama sheds, and Rama bestows. This realization of Truth can be had by anybody as Truth is nobody's preserve, Truth belongs to one and all. This aspect is bought home by the volumes of 'In Woods of God-realization' in which Rama speaks to us directly from his heart of hearts and lays before us the ideas which he has practically mastered himself. He advises us to accept what he says only when it comes true to the test.
The present volume - the first in the series of 'In Woods of God-Realization', now in its eleventh edition, gives an impetus and inspiration to the readers to tread the path of Truth by themself and not by proxy to know what Truth is. 'To know is to become'. 'Know Truth and become Truth'. This is Vedanta and this is what Rama expresses.
This volume now in the hands of the Truth-seekers removes the mist of ignorance and unfolds the 'Real Self' which is home of happiness and the substratum of everything in all the states of dreamlessness, dream-land and wakefulness. It also unravels the secret of success and tells how to achieve it and become that fountainhead wherefrom Real Power flows continuously and fulfils all desires one may entertain. Next, it also explains, besides other aspects of life, the Law of Life Eternal. It is this law which rules everything conceivable or non-conceivable. This law-the Law of 'Trishul' is very harsh on those who violate it and there is no escape. But those who abide by it are allowed to ride over it and reap eternal life. It also provides guidelines for married life and explains what Vedanta stands for.
Since 1909, seven Volumes of 'In Woods of God- Realization' have been published by Pratisthan. These explain the practicability of Vedanta, which was and is, perhaps," read merely as good food for intellectual consumption. It is Rama who declares that if Vedanta does not remove your chill; '- if it does not cast off your burden, then kick it aside. He pronounces in unequivocal terms that 'Vedanta printed in books and placed on shelves to be eaten up by worms, would not do. You must live it. This living Vedanta is what Rama preached and what Rama lived. There is no other way. This Vedanta may be called by any name one chooses, but the content of Vedanta is eternal and omnipresent. To achieve this content- 'TRUTH', one is to pay the price and without paying the price one cannot have it. The price, Rama explains, is Denial of the little self and Assertion of the real self. One may pay this price by continuously feeling God-head, Knowing God-head and becoming all-pervading God "सर्व खलविदम् ब्रह्म". Brahman is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient. And ‘That Thou Art’- तत्वमसि.
The Pratisthan hopes that the inquisitive seekers of Truth will be inspired by these Volumes of 'In Woods of God- Realization' in their search and mission. Success is theirs, once they are convinced of Real Selves. The only need is to live in Self and roam in the pristine glory of Divinity. That is Rama's Promise.
