Rajaji writes in simple direct prose。 In this short book， he translates selected verses from 7 of the principal Upanishads and provides brief commentary。 It is a very accessible introduction to what is arguably the most profound philosophical treatise India has produced。 The basic idea seems to be that inside each person， soul or the fragment of the universal spirit， dwells。 To realise it， a life of detachment is needed。 Worldly pleasures are ephemeral and of little value。 Philosophy of advaita Rajaji writes in simple direct prose。 In this short book， he translates selected verses from 7 of the principal Upanishads and provides brief commentary。 It is a very accessible introduction to what is arguably the most profound philosophical treatise India has produced。 The basic idea seems to be that inside each person， soul or the fragment of the universal spirit， dwells。 To realise it， a life of detachment is needed。 Worldly pleasures are ephemeral and of little value。 Philosophy of advaita or non dualism is inherent in Upanishads。 Whether or not this otherworldliness did damage to science and material progress in India， is another debate altogether。 。。。more
