(as a buddhist, reading this INFURIATED me)

saraswati aims to establish a rich philosophical system, but the contents r aimless, repetitive, and incoherent. i shelved this under "phenomenology" due to his dissection of e.g. the structures of hearing and vision, how they relate to consciousness, etc, but his interpretation of phenomena & signs is shallow throughout

the structure of the book has little sense to it, no justification for its random selection of topics, it has no situation within the wider corpus of the bihar school. there r guides and instructions given for many different practices, but they r often difficult to follow, unclear, too repetitive, and poorly placed within the chapter

i have nothing positive to say abt this book ( )
