Herein Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, speaking about [[morality]], explains ''Yama''{{sfn|Anandamurti |1957|p=3}} and ''Niyama''{{sfn|Anandamurti |1957|p=6}} as the foundations of intuitional practices (''Sadhana'') on a rational basis. Sarkar shows as the ancient teachings of self–control and selfless conduct derive from the deepest understandings of human psychology, and are the keystones for the highest human potentials. The book ends with basic instructions on the intuitional process of ''Iishvara Pranidhana'' (meditation).
