An Intimate Note to the Sincere Seeker (English)
Opis
Great teachers have the quality of simplifying complex subjects and making them understandable for anyone. For an enlightened master, the subject is all of life and everything that falls within its purview. In this book, Gurudev touches nearly all aspects of life - relationships and dealing with people, letting go and holding on, understanding one's patterns, love, karma, free will, ego, truth, God and much more. He brings out the essence of these existential complexities with depth, simplicity and humour. If Gurudev tells you why a liar is innocent, he also reminds you that this world is a wrapping Paper with the gift waiting within. If he gives you the address to the most beautiful spot in the universe, he tells you with utmost practicality why God is a thorough businessman. Gurudev's simple, reassuring words immediately put your mind at ease and caress your soul. They are Laden with wisdom that does not just remain in the intellect, but is beautifully integrated into daily life. Millions of people have experienced that whichever note they opened in this book, It was just what they needed.
