PREFACE
YAGYA? ... Yagya is the name of a certain process of worship and meditation.
KARM? ... The word means “action. ”Undertaking of yagya is action.
VARN? ... The four stages into which action-the ordained mode of worship-has been divided are the four varn; rather than being caste-names they represent the lower and higher states of the same worshipper.
VARNSANKAR? ... The advent of confusion into the worshipper and his consequent straying from the path of God-realization is varnsankar.
HUMAN CATEGORIES? ... Governed by natural properties, there are two categories of men, the godly and the ungodly-the righteous and the unrighteous; driven by their inborn inclinations they ascend or descend.
GODS? ... Gods represent the collective body of virtuous impulses that abide in the realm of heart and enable the Soul to attain to the sublimity of the supreme God.
AVATAR? ... The word means “incarnation.” This incarnation is always brought about within man’s heart, never outside.
