This can be said to be the greatest of all Upanishads, not only in size but also in regard to the substance and theme it deals with. Shankarachaya's commentary on it is also the greatest of all his commentaries. The volume contains the text in Devanagari, a lucid and faithful translation of the text and commentary, relevant notes, references to quotations, and an index. All this makes this book indispensable to the students of Vedanta, especially those who are deficient in Sanskrit language, for a easy and correct comprehension of the subject.
What the world wants is character. The world is in need of those whose life is one burning love--selfless. That love will make every word tell like a thunderbolt. Awake, awake, great souls! The world is burning in misery. Can you sleep? Work unto death--I am with you, and when I am gone, my spirit will work with you. This life comes and goes--wealth, fame, enjoyments are only of a few days. It is better, far better, to die on the field of duty, preaching the truth than to die like a worldly worm. Advance!
