Commentaries were always written by yogis, Rishis… seekers who indulged in path of jnana yoga (absolute wisdom) to reach God in their lifetime.

The thought process does not work that way. Reading books written by others we definitely get to know the readers thinking prowess, ones ideas and interpretation. But every single word written in a book provokes us to indulge in contemplation, form our own opinions about any subject, theory or principle! Indulging in “Law of Success” by Napoleon Hill I […]
