Salient points from Chapter 7

What else is there besides transcending? A deep insight into the mechanics of how God Consciousness evolves – the Divine is everywhere, not just within
A “technique” to enhance our evolution to GC, after CC has begun to be established
The value and proper understanding of bhakti – devotion to God
A profound understanding of Māyā and the divine nature of Creation

Salient points from Chapter 8

The relationship of Consciousness, God and the Vedic Devatā
The path of the soul after death; the mechanics of reincarnation
How to attain liberation while leaving the body
Can an enlightened soul reincarnate? Can non-enlightened souls reach a state from which they don’t return?

If this teaching is followed, effectiveness in life will be achieved, men will be fulfilled on all levels, and the historical need of the age will be fulfilled also. —Maharishi
