The goal of mankind is knowledge. That is the one ideal placed before us by Eastern philosophy. Pleasure is not the goal of man, but knowledge. Pleasure and happiness come to an end. It is a mistake to suppose that pleasure is the goal. The cause of all the miseries we have in the world is that men foolishly think pleasure to be the ideal for which to strive. After a time, man finds it is not happiness, but knowledge, toward which he is going, that both pleasure and pain are great teachers, and that he learns as much from evil as from good.

Il libro è tratto da una serie di insegnamenti e conferenze effettuate alla fine del 1800 in Inghilterra e negli Stati Uniti, in cui il maestro indiano, allievo filiale di Sri Ramakrishna, spiega, con parole semplici e accessibili a tutti, le quattro vie dello Yoga: Karma Yoga, la via del lavoro; Raja Yoga, la via della psicologia, Jnana Yoga, la via della conoscenza; Bhakti Yoga, la via della devozione.

He is the Soul of the Universe; he is immortal. His is the Rulership. He is the all-knowing, the all-pervading, the Protector of the Universe, the Eternal Ruler. None else is there efficient to govern the world eternally.

The soul must be eternal. Why? In the first place we see that the soul is not matter. It is neither a gross body, nor a fine body, which we call mind or thought. It is neither a physical body, nor what in Christianity is called a spiritual body. It is the gross body and the spiritual body that are liable to change. The gross body is liable to change almost every minute and dies, but the spiritual body endures through long periods, until one becomes free, when it also falls away.
