Commentaries
These
commentaries follow a traditional pattern of elaborating an original text, in
this case, a quotation from Maharaj, while continuing to point to the same,
non-dual reality. The quotations are organized under twelve topics, one for
each month. Each quotation has a commentary. Within each month, the quotes are
numbered 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, .. 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and so on, so if you want to contemplate
one quotation from Maharaj every day of the year you can do so. If you want
