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.
We cannot see outside what we are not inside. The universe is to us what the huge engine is to the miniature engine; and indication of any error in the tiny engine leads us to imagine trouble in the huge one.
-Swami Vivekananda
