Description

This book is on epistemology, which is the theory of knowledge, in regard to yoga and the attainment of the Ultimate Reality. It starts with an analysis of the mind and the means of perception, and explains why it is impossible for the mind to know the world and why we cannot even know ourselves, and why this lack of knowledge leaves us in a state of dissatisfaction and sorrow. Then Swamiji tells us how the Yoga and Vedanta philosophies deal with this most important issue and how, through meditation leading to Samadhi, our individual consciousness realises its true nature as Universality, or God-consciousness.
