The Fields of Cognition
Kshetra Kshetragna: The Field and the Knower of the field
446 pages, 14.5 x 21cm, 15 €. Book in Spanish Language.
Here we have Sesha's masterpiece par excellence. Divided into two sections (one theoretical and another which expands on the previous subject through the use of aphorisms), this book summarises the essence of all that is possible to know.
Through its 163 aphorisms the reader is introduced to fields ranging from eastern to western philosophy, from physics to medicine, from ethics to metaphysics and epistemology, from inner to outer meditation, from transcendental to simple. It is yet another incomparable book, especially recommended to the most thorough of searchers into the depth of Being.
The book contains explicit graphs and tables which summarise the complexity of the subject. It is a book of conscientious analysis that takes the reader through the most surprising regions of human and divine thought.
