The author, a Sanskrit scholar from South Africa, has selected 108 gems from the Upanishadic mine and strung them into a fascinating array. The selections have been arranged under suitable headings in an attempt to systematize the thought of the Upanishads.
This world is nothing. It is at best only a hideous caricature, a shadow of the Reality. We must go to the Reality. Renunciation will take us to It.
-Swami Vivekananda
