Description

In this collection of passages for meditation, Eknath Easwaran brings the wisdom of the world’s great saints and sages within our reach.

These are powerful, universal wisdom texts that inform and transform.
— Enjoy them for their poetic and intellectual appeal
— Or study them slowly, with concentration
— Or meditate on them, so that the words come to life in your thoughts and actions

The great saints and sages are the world’s spiritual geniuses – men and women such as the Compassionate Buddha, Francis of Assisi, Teresa of Avila, and the sages of the Upanishads. They come from different faiths, different times, but they all discovered the same changeless reality underlying the shifting world of sense experience. By reminding us of our essential goodness, they give us hope. Through the legacy of their words, they show us what it means to think in freedom, love fully, and see life as it really is. Easwaran chose texts that are positive, practical, and inspiring, that express the universal ideals of love, steadfastness, and wisdom. They can be read as holy words but also as the promptings of our true self, the core of goodness within us.

Read this book again and again – and let these saints and sages take you to the heartland of the spirit within.
