This text consists of sections, first showing the original text in English transliteration, then a translation below it, with a commentary afterwards. The overall text is not very long, being only sixty-four pages, so it's a quick read. The translation is clear and understandable, and the commentary is useful -- sometimes providing explanations and sometimes referring the reader to other texts, like the Upanishads, which explain a concept at more length.

Two difficulties I encountered were: (1) there are occasional typos which can be confusing until one deciphers them, and (2) not all esoteric terms are defined, so one will either have to look these up or deduce the meaning for themselves. Be aware of these issues ahead of time, but please don't let this discourage you. Speaking personally, I very much enjoyed this book, I definitely got something out of it, and I'm happy that I stumbled upon it.

Here is my review of the, which explains my understanding many of the topics these texts cover, at more length: As a note, when I first began reading texts on non-duality, it didn't benefit me much because not all of the concepts were clear to me, and as they were, they seemed nonsensical and unappealing. After reading multiple texts on non-duality, this problem was eased. I believe this is because each author explains things in a slightly different way, and when it comes to a topic as complex as this, one or two different words can make a huge difference.

For this reason, I'd recommend trying this method of looking at multiple sources if you're having difficulty with non-duality texts. Of course, there's no guarantee that you will end up liking the philosophy, but it will certainly give you more of a chance to see it for what it is, so you can decide for yourself whether you like it or not.
