Throughout the book, Müller emphasizes the importance of the study of language and its connection to culture and history. He also expresses his belief in the unity of all religions and the importance of understanding and respecting different cultures. Overall, "My Autobiography" provides insight into the life and work of one of the most influential scholars of the 19th century, as well as the development of the study of languages and philology during that time.
