Sankara's 'thousand teachings' on the distinction between the senses, mind, body, intellect, and the true Self. In translating as well as in drawing up the notes, the author has closely followed the authoritative commentary of Ramatirtha.
Nature grinds all of us. Keep count of the ounce of pleasure you get. In the long run, nature did her work through you, and when you die your body will make other plants grow. Yet we think all the time that we are getting pleasure ourselves. Thus the wheel goes round.
-Swami Vivekananda
