All these 18 commandments, have been written in form of separate chapters, with each chapter being analysed from the perspective of an individual soul, to its effect on a community altogether. Some important points to reflect upon in this book are:

• The concept of dutifulness states that “Duty for the sake of Duty” is a must. It simply means that duty should be for the sake of duty and never out of pity or compassion. It is when duty is born from free will, it has its independent value and carries a constructive value.
• If one is seeking truth, he won’t be able to find it through any institution. He will have to explore the very depths of his soul to achieve the same.
• Fear is born out of doubt. If the sadhak is doubtful about his sadhna then such a situation would fill him with fear and despair.
• The eternal Truth can never be spoken and expressed, it can only be experimented and realized on your own. Therefore Lord Mahavira had said “Seek the truth for yourself”.
• Religion is nothing but the inner purity of the soul. Therefore it is not a matter of belonging to any particular race, class or sect.
• It has been seen that human mind can be influenced through sadhna and through scientific experiments too. Where at one place sadhna needs time and practise, scientific experiments give results faster. However, sadhna works on the root cause whereas the results of the scientific experiments are on temporal basis.
• Both action and thought go together. When the mind is divorced from the action, it leads to unintelligibility and therefore mediation is needed train the mind.
• It is the impatience of the man which acts a hindrance in his path of One should increase one’s practice of patience otherwise the equilibrium of the body is disturbed.
• Honesty is nothing but harmony of thought, speech, and action and contradiction between them is dishonesty.
• A Sanskrit poet has said “The needle is straight and therefore sews things together, creates one fabric out of two pieces. The scissor is crooked; it splits; cuts one piece into two”. Similarly straightforwardness binds the mind together, the scissors of attachment and illusion severs them.
• Fire can be said to be cold and ice can be said to be hot. We cannot view everything only from one point of view. Lord Mahavira said that we cannot propound reality without relativity. Where we expound truth relatively, it naturally leads to co-existence.
• The true meaning of being detached is to undergo self-realization. The way to self-realization is through neutralization of unnatural distortion in every action. He who experiences his true nature as the knower and the seer becomes self-realized.

The man who has control over his emotions, can go very far. The man who cannot fully control his emotions, but has limited capacity and controls his passions to some extent, is able to maintain the status quo. But the man who is a slave to his passions, forces himself into a miserable plight, soon degenerates. Let us realise this truth that without exercising control over emotions, we cannot make any progress in life.
