Sankara's 'thousand teachings' on the distinction between the senses, mind, body, intellect, and the true Self. In translating as well as in drawing up the notes, the author has closely followed the authoritative commentary of Ramatirtha.
This I have seen in life -- those who are overcautious about themselves fall into dangers at every step; those who are afraid of losing honor and respect, get only disgrace; and those who are always afraid of loss, always lose.
-Swami Vivekananda
