Brahma Sutras systematizes the philosophy of the Upanishads in 555 aphorisms. In this book the original aphorisms are given in Devanagari followed by word-for-word English rendering, and the interpretation of the sutra according to Shankaracharya. The introduction contains a comparative study of the bhashyas of Shankara, Ramanuja, and Nimbarka.
The less the thought of the body, the better it is for us. For it is the body that drags us down. It is attachment, identification, which makes us miserable.
-Swami Vivekananda
