Description
This is a modest attempt to present the basic principles of the Vedanta in a language fairly free from technicalities. That great philosophy, both in theory and in practice, is too wide and elaborate to admit of its being compressed within the short compass of this book, which aims only at a popular presentation of the subject.
This work is a revised and enlarged edition of Thoughts from the Vedanta, which was published many years ago and is now out of print.
