In its precise and beautiful language, and in that of the other writings of the Sage, which are included in this volume, is presented his brilliant synthesis of all that is best in the Upanishads--the reality of Spirit.\nAs it was the work of Gautama the Buddha to \"scatter broadcast throughout the world the teachings of India's Golden Days,\" so it was the work of \u015aankar\u00e2ch\u00e2rya to preserve these teachings, to explain them, and to mark them with a spirit and interest which will not die. It was by the reforming and refreshing of the Doctrine instituted by \u015aankar\u00e2ch\u00e2rya at a critical time that the Br\u00e2hmans were enabled to carry forth the sacred flame of knowledge and spirituality through dark and difficult centuries.\nCharles Johnston, the translator of these writings, is well known to occultists as a profound scholar of Oriental language and philosophy. The text of this book was published by W. Q. Judge in the Oriental Department Papers of 1894-6 and in his magazine The Path.\n| Theosophical University Press | Covina, California (Covina is crossed out) P.O.
