This science, called Yog in the Bhagavad Gita, does not ask us to make any changes in our lifestyle or actions. All we need to do is to change our thoughts, as advised by Lord Krishna in the Gita. This wonderful science of thoughts has been unfolded in this path-breaking book that promises to change lives and help us attain immortality.

Lord Krishna has clearly stated in the Gita that man can be free from old age and death and live forever in eternal peace and happiness. “A person who believes the words of God and follows His wisdom will be freed from stress, worries, diseases and ageing and live forever with inner peace and happiness,” says Verma. He elaborates that the failure to understand and follow the words of God is the singular cause of unrest, disunity and suffering in the world. Verma explains in his book that the all-pervading God is wisdom that can be attained by every person, while remaining engaged in his or her day-to-day actions. On gaining wisdom, he/she will attain immortality and become a supreme being.

You Are God unfolds the wisdom of God lying hidden in the Gita and gives answers to man’s eternal question: Who am I? Quoting the words of Lord Krishna, Verma says that the same self or wisdom, namely, the all-pervading God, embodies all bodies. All beings are forms of God or, simply put, they are God. The ego or a sense of I-ness in us deludes us and we fail to realise that we are God, not ‘I’ or man/woman. A person who understands and practises the science of Yog and changes his or her thoughts as advised by Lord Krishna, will realise that he or she is God, not ‘I’. Having attained this wisdom, he/she will be freed from sorrow, diseases, ageing and death and will become immortal.
