Thus for the fortunate who know Sanskrit, and blessed they ba, there is the original verse, for others the verse is English.
Among the audience which has been kept in view, and which 1s the reason why a free style of translation has been a dopted, are the large number of foreign students, seekers etc. who flock to our country and countrymen in search of the kind of knowledge this book talks about - namely the nature of GOD as per the saing. Also the large number of our countrymen who have, lost ease of control over the vernacular, let alone Sanskrit, as a result of modern educatlon, are also borne in mind.
Finally, it should be understood that any knowledge from a book ultimately has severe limitations, and those who seek to know the Truth by their own experience, would have to go much rurther, and this nurther means listening to people wi:o have achieved somewhat greater height than one sefand then following the path that has been rigorously land down by them. In this, reading has a certain place, but 1t has only a limited place. This should never be forgotten by the true seeker.
