One should read the exposition of the text Kaupeena Panchakam by Swamiji with an open mind. One should have patience till the end of the text to make judgment or draw conclusion. The understanding of this vision can help in overcoming sorrow and fear in our lives. The trouble starts with the body-identification. The rest is the ramification of this simple truth. The commentary deals with such ramifications individually and offers solution to the earnest seeker. The way Swamiji mercilessly deals with the hypocrisy in our present day Indian society, the way the religion is practiced to serve our ambition and greed may not be palatable or comfortable to our traditional thinking. We can only hope such a discomfort can lead us to examine our erroneous understanding of religion and the lip service we pay to our glorious tradition, and provoke us to seek correct understanding from wise men thro' our invaluable inheritance of great texts such as the Upanishads, Gita, etc. with the illuminating commentary by that genius Sri Sankaracharya.
