Opening with Sankaracharya's introduction to Brahmavidya and the Upanishad's divisions, the text delves into various aspects of contemplation. Lessons encompass invocation, phonetics, and reflection on Samhita. Chapters explore Brahman's role as Creator, the identity of Jiva, and different states of consciousness.
