In this book, I have presented my understanding of Indian metaphysics (or spirituality) from an ordinary seeker’s perspective. It is not a scholarly treatise. It does not quote copiously from varied spiritual literature. It does not present complex “logical arguments” to “prove” any point. It simply presents the “musings” of a spiritual seeker based on the classical Indian spiritual thinking as epitomised in Shrimad Bhagawad Geeta. I trust it is simple enough for anybody and everybody to understand. However, my idea is not to convince any reader by means of this book to take up spirituality. It is simply a sharing that may have a role to play in some people’s lives, if the divine scheme has it that way.

The book is organised into two volumes. Language has very serious limitations and when it comes to spiritual terms, two persons may understand them quite differently. That is the reason I have presented up front in Volume 1, my understanding of the various important spiritual terms and concepts, so that the reader can appreciate my philosophy better. Volume 2 presents my ideas about the real spiritual goal and the practice for achieving that goal – what exactly a spiritual seeker should be doing – both in the inner mental realm as also in the external world of action.

As far as possible, I have presented my musings in a practical context that most readers should be able to identify with. I have also included some stories, many imaginary, if only to drive home the underlying spiritual idea more appealingly. I have put in a verse or a poem in many places, particularly at the end of many chapters. These are all written by me except a few that I have translated from original Marathi poems, the original source of which I have specifically acknowledged. These poems and verses summarise in nutshell and reiterate the core concept of the relative chapter. I have used short dialogues at some places to convey certain spiritual concepts. I trust all this helps reduce the drudgery of an otherwise theoretical subject like spirituality, if presented as an essay, and thereby keeps the reader more engaged.

I believe this book, being a simple and non-scholarly write-up, should be easy for readers who are beginners on the path of spirituality. It should also be useful for the more advanced seekers as a constant prod for their own contemplation. After all, it is my strong belief that spirituality is all about transformation of mind through constant contemplation on the matters beyond the physical creation.

May this book be the divine nudge to the readers, pushing them gently on to the spiritual path!
