Jiva Tattva: The Nature of Living Entity As Per the Gaudiya School.
By SATYANARAYANA DAS(Author)
On any spiritual path, including bhakti, there are three factors involved: the practitioner, the practice, and the goal to be achieved. To be successful in one?s spiritual practice, one must have a clear understanding of all three of these factors.

This book primarily focuses on providing authoritative knowledge about the practitioner, the jiva. Knowledge about the jiva is gained from sastra. However, if one does not know how to interpret it properly, sastra can be misunderstood. It is for this reason that there are differences of opinion about the nature of the jiva in different groups of spiritualists. In this book, some basic principles are discussed that govern how sastra is meant to be understood at different levels and how its true intentions are realized.
