  • The essential nature of the Self and the fruit of Knowledge

Liberation is the goal that is desired by one and all, either directly or indirectly. The study of the text will not only give clarity on the spiritual path to Self-realisation, but will also help seekers comprehend clearly the methodology of exposition of the Vedanta Shastras.
