Extract From Book

The Self is not simply witnessing consciousness as maintained  by Sankhya, Patanjala Yoga, Vedanta, but an active force or Spanda.

Secondly, the ultimate reality is not simply a logical system, a mysterious background of bloodless categories, but Spanda or living, throbbing Energy, the Divine Creative Pulsation, the source of all manifestation, physical or superphysical. Spanda maintains that all energy is, in its ultimate analysis, only an off-shoot of spiritual energy.

Thirdly, the work eleborates the dynamic side of consciousness and serves as commentary on the Siva Sutra.

Fourthly, it gives hint of a new kind of Yoga for the realization of self.
