The writer of this text already enjoys the status of a Preceptor for many. It is most likely that the readers of this book will be first a spiritual-practitioner and then a reader. This book is not of the kind that anybody can read at any time. It is not a masterly work of artistry created for popularity. What has been put into words in it 1s the pure experience of a Siddha, an accomplished person. The path of So’ham is beginningless. The Nathas endeavoured to throw light on it through their charming sport, for the sake of common men. St. Nivritti Nath gave it the richness of science. St. Gyanadev enriched it with devotion. | The So’ham sect, already made rich with streams of thoughts of discrimination, dispassion, devotion and wisdom, was firmly established again by that holy-soul of Pawas. Vidyanandaji is standing in the same path. Vidyananda is made up of two words Vidya and Ananda, which stand for Knowledge and Bliss; but it should be said that knowledge is in his very name and bliss is in his life. As far as this book of his is concerned, it is of the ultimate divine form Sat-Chit-Anand (Truth-Wisdom-Bliss.) Books on such subjects can be of two kinds; 1) of the descriptive nature written for the sake of spreading a canopy for one’s lineage, and 2) of discreet and analytical type written with a purpose of augmentation of the lineage, being always vigilant towards that purpose. This book must be included in the second category.
