Clear, contemporary translation.

An anthology of inspirational readings, representing a wide range of spiritual expression, gathered from the sacred literature of the world.

The mantram, or mantra, is a short, powerful spiritual formula from the world's great traditions, repeated silently in the mind.  The author discusses in a very simple way how the mantra can steady the mind and focus our thoughts, free our mind from anxiety and resentment, and help replenish our energy and will power.

Easwaran offers insights into the practical means to make Jesus’ love come alive in everyday life, including glimpses into Christian mystics like Augustine, Teresa of Avila, and Catherine of Genoa. Based on passages from The Imitation of Christ.

In the midst of chaos we can find balance, peace and wisdom if we learn to steady our minds.  A simple idea but one that runs deep.

A little over a hundred passages for reflection and contemplation from the world's great saints and sages from all religious traditions. Easwaran chose texts that are positive, practical, and inspiring, that express  the universal ideals of love, steadfastness, and wisdom.
