He wrote on the principles of Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita and the Brahma Sutra. He opined that there is but one God and he alone is real, all else is Maya (illusion). The theme contains thirteen chapters and the appendix. They include his early life, tours of various regions of India, master and disciple, his philosophy, amidst the Himalayas, divine purpose, Vedanta philosophy, his teachings and last years of his life.
