The reading class which has been kept in view and for which a free style of translation has been adopted, is the large number of foreign students, seekers, etc. who flock to our country and our own countrymen in search of the kind of knowledge that this book expounds. The translator has felt this book to be an excellent exposition of the Eternal Philosophy, a philosophy which ultimately leads man to true and Eternal Happiness within oneself.
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 further; and this further means listening to people who have achieved somewhat greater heights than oneself and then following the path that has been rigorously laid down by them. In this, reading has a certain place, but it has only a limited place. This should never be forgotten by the true seekers.
