In the original picture, he is actually bolding a book titled- Autobiography of a Yogi.

In the caption, he wrote: “I love this book. A must-read for all those who are brave enough to let their thoughts and ideologies be challenged. The understanding and implementation of the knowledge in this book will change your whole perspective and life. Believe in the divine and keep marching on doing good deeds.”

In the above FAKE vs REAL collage it is pretty clear that the book in the original picture has been replaced by text to create a FAKE picture using photo editing software.
