This book serves as an introduction to the six systems of Hindu philosophy. Though these six systems are different in their approaches to the truth, they are unanimous as far as the final goal of humankind is concerned, which is, total eradication of suffering and attainment of state of eternal peace.
I do not want to get material life, do not want the sense-life, but something higher. That is renunciation. Then, by the power of meditation, undo the mischief that has been done.
-Swami Vivekananda
