"What Is Man, from Mohan Perera and Rohan Perera, is a rich exploration of the human condition from psychological and faith perspectives. The most insightful parts of the text explore how love can be easily misplaced. What Is Man? is a theological work that puts the emphasis on the mind, in hopes that the heart will follow it to spiritual salvation and redemption. " – Foreword Magazine                           Excerpt What is Man! What is man but a conscious spirit, In a state of finite awareness: Where the poor and the sick, Dwell with the well and wealthy, And the cold and the cruel thrive, Among the weak and the meek. For: Mortal and finite is the son man. A spirit of utter loneliness: And of hollow emptiness, In want of love and weak of heart. Faithless cold and cruel, Is the spirit of the barren man. Yet: Love, the character of life, A Spirit of absolute aloneness: That is of infinite fullness, Gives life to countless souls. To multiply, and to increase, And scatter the heavens with life. And: In consciousness is life. The unconscious is the source: Whence truth and wisdom lie, Knowledge of God and Love; The indigenous nature of life, That is mysterious to man. And: In the depths of consciousness, In the abyss of the soul: Be found the source of life, In which is infinite awareness, The eternal home of every man, It is yet to fathom by every man. Yet: Confined to a material universe, In light, space and time: A quantum of infinite awareness, In a body of finite life, The mortal man struggles to, Fathom his immortal soul. And: Ignorant is the man of finite awareness. For vanities: And pride of life; crucifies love, With which he was created for. And, in the absence of love, it is Eye for an eye, for you and I. So: Cynical is the man without love. In fear do: The son of man and, In desperation, make bonds of love. An act of volition but, What is marriage if not bondage. O: In Heaven do the Sons of God. A state of infinite awareness: Where marriage is obsolete, And Love is absolute, The Christ consciousness, Yet to enter the mind, of man. For: Heaven, is to be One with God. The eternal Spirit, within all: In the Spirit, of the Father and Son, Brothers and Sisters, of Jesus Christ; “In Heaven, there is no marriage, Nor is anyone given in Marriage.”_ Jesus

Pacific Book Review
Twin authors Rohan and Mohan Perera affect readers on the deepest cerebral levels with their shared existential perspectives in a work that centers on the purpose of human existence, What is Man. By examining matters through the lenses of the tenets of Christianity and Buddhism, this book poses an intellectually unique offering for the mind and soul, whereas the authors heartily delve into the existential issues that plague all humans; Why are we here? Who are we really? What are we?

Entirely built from a perspective that looks at human existence as being more deeply entrenched in spirit than the physical. The brothers Perera, provide readers with a lucidly penetrating assessment of the tangible versus the intangible nature of life by evaluating topics like; human relationships, sources of energy in the universe, the power of the unconscious mind, God vs the Devil and the intangible yet very real energy of Love. Moreover, this divinely inspired narrative imparts a compelling comparative examination of the philosophical, religious and scientific viewpoints on the elements pertinent to attaining spiritual growth and enlightenment. This possible particularly through the understanding and acceptance of God's unconditional love, which in turn ultimately parlays into becoming part of the greater loving consciousness.

Consequently, What is Man strikes a curious nerve for those readers desiring a better understanding of their potential and necessity for spiritual self-growth in a world driven by ego and materialism. According to authors Perera, man has a choice of becoming enmeshed in the materialism of this world seemingly fulfilled by the falsehood of material success or advancing yourself spiritually by existing as God intends for us to live. Easily comprehendible, the text conveys this essential mindset in distinctly literate, and uncomplicated terms. Furthermore, the authors support their postulations with the inclusion of thought-stimulating quotes and passages from the Bible, along with inspiring comments from some of the greatest thinking minds in philosophy, life and the sciences, ergo creating with this book a lasting cognitive impression.

I found What is Man, to be an intriguingly edifying read with some great “aha” moments that will definitely make a connection with the spiritually inclined reader. Although this was a generally interesting read, some of the more intriguing chapters I found were: The Conscious Ego and the Unconscious Mind, The Unconscious, God Like Consciousness without God, God vs the Devil, and The Energy of Love. I found each to hold a particularly revelatory nature that was mind stimulating and brimming with those clarifying instances that books of this genre can provide. This is a read definitely worth looking into if you are seeking to dive deeply into your spiritual life.

United States Book Review
"The Ego is a consciousness, which is created by the great consciousness to extend itself into a new consciousness of the same."

In this engaging text, Sri Lankan twin brothers Rohan (now deceased) and Mohan Perera explicate their philosophy of life and religion. Based on a framework of Christianity, their shared viewpoint also encompasses some Buddhist ideals. The authors believe that since love existed before humanity, it is to this pure love that humans must return through diligent seeking, the development of conscience, and the gradual acquisition of wisdom. In the Pereras’ exploration, they pose several notable questions: Since lust is necessarily selfish, how can it support a marriage dedicated to mutual caring and unselfishness? If religion teaches us to love all equally, why do we teach children to succeed in life by besting others? If science can find the location of thinking—the brain—why has it never found the location or mechanism of loving? The Pereras suggest that the devil tempts our human egos toward selfishness; only through the unconditional love of and from God can we overcome that temptation.

The writing style of What Is Man is plain and rational, underscoring the excellent intellectual grounding of both authors. There is occasional humor and some original poetry. About twenty percent of the text consists of questions/remarks from unknown persons and the responses by “World of Ro and Mo,” but these, lamentably, lack any indication of the origin of the exchanges. The main body of the book is peppered with numerous quotations—from Einstein, Hawking, Gandhi, with the vast majority coming from the New Testament, focused on the life and teachings of Jesus. Throughout, it is notable that the Perera brothers have assembled their ideas carefully, utilizing various interesting methods to share their unconventional but logic-based theories regarding life’s meaning and purpose.

Rohan Perera and Mohan Perera are authors whose names will be associated with spiritual principles that can create lasting change in anyone’s life, and this is evidenced in their most recent publication, What Is Man: From the World of Ro and Mo. It is not surprising that the authors share insights and lessons from a journey that started when they were mere teenagers, because the book contains very insightful and revelatory passages about one of the themes that readers seeking meaning will be looking for. In a time when readers are pulled to all sides by the demands of today’s competitive culture, there is an urgent need for words that remind them of what really matters, and this book is one of the best tools for that.

The authors use biblical wisdom — passages from the words of Jesus — and inspiring words from other writers to craft a compelling message that will help readers find answers to the complex questions they have about happiness, real freedom, love, and the purpose of life. The book is loaded with empowering words and insights that will resonate with many readers. Written in a very accessible style, this book reads like a beautiful gift. The voice is clear and compassionate and readers will enjoy the relevant and masterful interpretation of some of the words of Jesus. It’s a book that will help both Christians and non-Christians find their spiritual path and embrace it. What Is Man: From the World of Ro and Mo is engaging, inspirational, and down-right honest.
