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.
No one should be judged by their defects. The great virtues a person has are his or her especially. But their errors are the common weakness of humanity and should never be counted in estimating a person's character.
-Swami Vivekananda
