Description
Essentially this work is a compilation of Vimalaji’s letters written to the author who had the opportunity to live with her and witness the rhythm-mic, pure, meditative life dedicated for the well being of the nations.
Vimalaji’s approach in dealing with the author – sadhaka is an education for all of us, in itself, indeed a practical education. An approach dealing with the particular mind-set of the aspirant but without the imposition of authority.
The letters, here, are arranged chronologically and have been assigned fitting titles which are quite expressive of the contents, beneficial to every spiritual aspirant. Most of the letters are in Vimalaji’s handwriting, giving it a feeling of closeness. They pierce the psyche of the readers, illumining our understanding and incisively and persuasively teach that the spiritual and eternal is to be prized above the material and transitory.
ESSENCE OF RELIGION:
“For me, religion cannot be borrowed. For me, religious life is not impositions of theories or patterns of behaviour on oneself. For me, religion is not grafting the experiences of other persons, however holy they might, dead or alive on our psyche. It’s not imposition of foregone conclusions.”
“It’s a personal discovery of truth of life; personal discovery of the live that life is; personal discovery of the intelligence, that is the Grace of Life, the harmony, that is the Grace of Divinity.”
“Personal discovery of truth is the essence of religion. And the religious person is one who in his or her humility has fearlessness to live the Truth, come what may.”
