This little text is a Vedanta work, one of a number created during the period; it is from the Hindu path, and forms a very interesting counterpart to Western movements such as Theosophy, which always stated or insinuated the primacy of Christ and Christianity, while admitting Eastern enlightenment and inter-mixing some of Hindu and Buddhist lore into their system. This work, and others by the same author, do the opposite, and subjugate Christ to the Vedanta system by asserting an older origin (which is historically accurate) and similarities (which sometimes are accurate, sometimes less so.) The nature of divinity and of mans' relation to it are explored in depth.
