A Single Book, The Responsibility Is Shared By Them Both As Regards The Entire Contents

 - Further, the chapters are not clubbed together at random as in an anthology but form integral and component parts of a composite whole

- The Supreme Reality underlying the universe is usually characterised as being unlimited Existence (Sat), unlimited Consciousness (chit) and unlimited Bliss (Ananda)

- The first five chapters each of them called a Viveka (analysis) deal with Existence aspect - The Consciousness aspect is elaborated in the next set of five chapters every one of which is called a Dipa (Light) 

- The final set of five chapters all called Ananda (Bliss) emphasizes the Blissful nature of that Reality. The net result is a beautiful structure which shows forth the inherent splendour of the Self, the substratum of the universe of names and forms, in its triple aspect as Life, Light and Love

- The style adopted by the authors for the treatment of this abstruse subject is very simple and conversational, so that even a person who has but a very cursory acquaintance with the Sanskrit language can easily understand what is stated there

- But at the same time the language is so terse that the careless reader is likely to miss the full significance of the words. 

- Besides being a reader, he must be prepared to be a thinker also, indeed a very deep thinker, if he wants to grasp accurately the ideas sought to be conveyed by the seemingly simple words used.

- If the reader happens to be already a learned scholar who has familiarized himself with the several systems of thought which seek to explain the nature of the Self, the Universe and God

- He will find in this book a veritable mine of information and arguments to guide him along the path of truth towards the ultimate goal of life
