Synopsis These Notes which were originally published in the Tapovan Prasad, the monthly journal of Swami Chinayananda, have been edited and gathered together for the Western students. "In this revealed path of self-development, which is inherent in all the Indian philosophies, there is an attempt on the part of the student to sublimate his own weaknesses, to beautify his own perversions, to straighten his own crookedness. This conscious effort of self-improvement calls forth a diligent attempt, consistent effort and continuous vigilance. All effort toward self-perfection is through life and its daily jerks. Hence, in the following Notes some clues have been given at random suggesting what We Must necessarily strive for while living our day-to-day challenges in life.
