Description
Power Unlimited, or Relation of Man with God, points out a way of solving our modern, practical, day-to-day problems by reference to the spirit within us. The book talks of certain tools for the development of greater potential through discovery of a latent power inherent within each one of us. It shows that it is not only possible, but it has become imperative, to pursue higher values in life without abandoning right worldly responsibilities.
The author, D N SARAF, feels that true spirituality embraces the whole of life health of the physical body, the mind and the life energies. It accepts life, seeks to improve and perfect it. D N Saraf is intensely inspired by the teachings of his spiritual master, Mahatma Mangat Ram, the story of whose life and spiritual attainments forms fascinating part of the book. Through some of the most riveting quotations, Saraf has drawn on the wisdom of many great saints, sages and philosophers, both of the East and the West, to supplement the line of approach recommended by his master.
Although Saraf has relied on the wisdom of great saints, his is not the path of a yogi or a renunciate. A top former government manager responsible for development of handicrafts in India, Saraf tries to traverse a middle path useful for people like householders or career persons. A book rewarding for both men of the world and seekers of the spirit.
Simple and full of humility, D N Saraf hails from Samba in Jammu & Kashmir (India). He did his M A (Economics) and B Com from Punjab University, and took a special course in marketing at Harvard Business School, USA. In his professional field he has been associated with such prestigious bodies as the Craft Council of India, the American Marketing Association and the Institute of Management, UK.
From his home state, where he held the high office of Director of Industries & Commerce, Mr. Saraf moved to the Central Government at Delhi holding several positions in the handicrafts field from 1956 to 1976. He retired as Development Commissioner for Handicrafts. He has also held several UN assignments.
Widely travelled and author of several books (the last one being In the Journey of Craft Development 1941-91), Mr. Saraf has delved, for over half a century, into unfathomable reaches of the beauty and creativity of crafts. At the same time he has been deeply interested in the Spirit which lends a unique special dimension to his life and work, and which passion has culminated in the present volume.
