• The book is arranged chronologically by dates of conversations, not by thematic chapters.
• Each volume contains multiple dated entries (often referred to as “chapters” in English translations).
• Different editions may vary slightly in chapter numbering.

If you would like, I can also:

• Provide detailed chapter-wise list for a specific volume, or
• Give a summary of each volume, or
• Present the content in PDF / printable format.
