About the Book

EIGHTH COMMANDMENT REVISITED
Ever since the human race has come into existence the truth has been misinterpreted countlessly. It is very difficult to understand what truth is. Therefor there are conventional methods and means of moral and ethical dimensions that are being followed from the beginning. In fact the eighth commandment helps us to be closer to the truth as it forbids us against the false testimony. In the book the author has tried to unfold the different aspects of the truth. God being the sublime truth naturally leads to the point that, His creation also is part of the same truth. The freewill that is given to man can comprehend the truth that lies within oneself From the time immemorial, though those who have witnessed truth have undergone trials and hardships, yet have seen the victory of truth at the end. Convictions that are shaped in the mould of truth will always testify it as it is the underlying factor of every being on this earth.
