Overview

Human life is a journey of an individual, from suffering to relatively happy, and from a relatively happy towards the absolutely happy and safe. By analyzing and understanding the true nature of an individual in the light of Vedanta, we can get rid of suffering and sorrow clinging to us. Self-knowledge determines our true well-being. If I understand the significance of self-knowledge, I find the key to being happy and safe at all times and everywhere, irrespective of objective conditions surrounding me. This book dives into human personality. Not only does it show the connection of human suffering with its root, self-ignorance, but it also provides the means to gain self-knowledge. Once I understand the significance of self-knowledge, then I want it. Because self-knowledge is the subtle origin and resolution of all our thoughts, feelings, actions, and relations, the means of self-knowledge that train the mind are indispensable. The work describes how to transform our daily life of struggle into a sacred life of happiness and complete freedom.

Thoughtful and thought-provoking, Significance and Means of Self-Knowledge is impressively written, organized, and presented throughout -- making it an unreservedly recommended addition to personal reading lists, as well as community and academic library Spiritual Self-Help and Contemporary Philosophy collections. - The Midwest Book Review It is a wonderful creation - nicely worded, properly articulated, well organized and is more like a fundamental core book having a certified self exploratory tool for a sincere student of Advaita Vedanta. Author's clarity on the subject and an honest attempt to 'walk the talk' adds a divine fragrance to this book. Looking forward to many more such books from the author. - Dr. Dhananjay Joshi - Doctorate in Emotional Intelligence - HR Strategist and Life Coach In a small book of essays and stories, the focus is on suffering and how to expand beyond such suffering. Utilizing such sacred texts as the Upanishads, Vedas, Bhagavad Gita, and Brahma Sutras, the author takes us through wisdom teachings and how to utilize these in our everyday lives. Here, we are led to ways of self-examination from the beginnings of our own self-ignorance to that of happiness. Along the way, the reader will be introduced to Vedant philosophies with the focus on non-dual consciousness, letting go of desire and sorrow, and delving beyond samsara. This can be accomplished through contemplation, meditation, and paying attention. Focusing on the dharma provides the basis for such values as does being in a Satsang where one can work with others towards growth and spirituality. The book is timely for the needed focus, no matter what the belief system, on ways to improve one's self with body and mind, with family, and with necessary daily practices. - Carol Anderson, D.Min, ACSW, LMSW - The US Review of Books In this transformational and profoundly insightful book, Tushar Choksi reveals the path to removing human suffering and discovering complete happiness and safety for all humans. Significance and Means of Self-knowledge teach that through a deep understanding of human behavior and Vedanta, humans can evolve and achieve the highest quality of life. According to Tushar Choksi, mental disorders-like anxiety, depression, hatred, loneliness, fear, and insecurity-surface in today's modern age as a result of neglecting to develop the mind and only developing the physical world and body. To guide readers toward achieving the best quality of life, Significance and Means of Self-knowledge examine different insightful subjects, including the value of family life, an ever-connected self to the essence of the universe, the concentration of the mind, the process of awakening, and more. What an intellectually stimulating, eye-opening guide to self-discovery! After reading the book, I took a good while to examine several things about myself I had never thought about, and I kid you not, I can already feel the liberating, uplifting change as I gravitate toward internal joy and forgo the idea of a separated, egotistical self. Tushar Choksi's book is a perfect tool for a full positive transformation because it breaks down the fundamental steps to achieving happiness with practical instructions, stories, and a thorough and logical line of reasoning. Significance and Means of Self-knowledge is strongly recommended to readers who are ready to do what it takes to live the very best version of their life! -Foluso Falaye for Readers' Favorite
