Śrīla Prabhupāda declares, “We don't say that this scientific knowledge is useless. Mechanics, electronics – this is also knowledge. But the central point is ātma-jñāna – self-knowledge, knowledge of the soul.”

In these thirty-one essays, talks, and informal conversations, Śrīla Prabhupāda reveals the central point of essential self-knowledge – a knowledge that makes all other knowledge and activities pale in comparison.

Brighten your life with the light of self-knowledge and gain a world perspective usually reserved for ascetics and saints.
