Ravindra's book provides a concise commentary on the Yoga Sutras, which were written about 2,000 years back. In his commentary, he draws from many spiritual traditions, including Christianity, Buddhism, and the work of Krishnamurti.

His translation and interpretation touch on issues that pertain to any human being who is curious about the great mystery of existence.
