Would You Like to Join A Real-Life Treasure Hunt?

TO JOIN, GET A KINDLE COPY OF THE BOOK BELOW, AND REPLY TO THIS POST WITH YOUR NAME STATING THAT YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TREASURE HUNT

I will share half of the proceeds from sales of the Kindle edition of my book with the first person to solve the challenge described at the end of the book* (proceeds accounted for by Amazon.com).  Most people who have already read the book seemed to have really enjoyed the story anyway, but now I'm adding a real life reward to whoever solves the riddle.

The more people that buy the book, the bigger the reward for you if you solve it.  Example: If the book sells 100,000 copies and the average royalty is $2 per book after taxes, if you solve the riddle first, you get $100,000.  GET YOUR FRIENDS TO HELP YOU!  Tell everyone with a Kindle or an iPhone (with the Kindle Application) to grab a copy and get to solving the challenge today!


Below Is The Link to the Book.  The title is "The Lost Scroll and the Secret of Life" and many of you have already read it, but now it's time to get others involved to help solve the riddle:
http://www.amazon.com/Lost-Scroll-Secret-Life-ebook/dp/B0029ZBGSE

If you think you've solved the riddle, send me a personal message through the Kindle Boards and I'll post the winner's information here (with your approval, of course).  Also, feel free to discuss your ideas regarding the riddle here.

Remember, the more people that buy a copy and help you, the larger the reward for you when you solve it...SO TELL EVERYONE ABOUT IT!

TO JOIN, GET A KINDLE COPY OF THE BOOK, AND REPLY TO THIS POST WITH YOUR NAME STATING THAT YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TREASURE HUNT

Good luck, and have fun!

*The answer to the challenge must include the actual sentence described in the book and the reason that particular sentence is described as the secret of life according to Advaita Vedanta.  The Treasure will consist of the after tax proceeds from sales of the book, as accounted for by Amazon, up to the date on which the riddle is solved, as verified by the author.  Due to the above described treasure hunt, the PDF edition can no longer be offered free of charge.  This offer will end when the first person correctly solves the riddle, as verified by the author.  By participating, you agree that the author has the sole and final say as to the veracity of the proposed solutions, and should your answer(s) be incorrect, you will not hold the author liable in any way.  You agree that you are purchasing the book for purposes of reading the main story, and not solely for the chance to solve the riddle, as the author may cancel this offer at any time prior to a solution being sent to said author via these Kindle Boards.  The author reserves the right to adjust the price of the book either upward or downward at any time during the period of the offer.  There is no way to predict the final sales amount, which will be determined by actual sales and accounted for by Amazon's Digital Text Platform accounting section.  If the riddle is not solved by Dec. 21, 2012, this offer becomes void.

I guess I don't quite understand. I will maybe give it a try but it seems like something is off , but I'm probably just dense.
