Wisdom, Bliss and Common Sense – Secrets of Self-Transformation
By Darshani Deane.
229 Pages | A Quest Original 1989 | Softcover | Quest Books, U.S.A. | ISBN: 0835606449.
Whether your tradition is Christian, Judaic, Buddhist, or something else - your life is a jourmey. Knowingly or unknowingly, we are all going Home. Being human is a process. Yet behind it lies the goal we seek. Your first questions:
- Where do you stand on the Path?
- How far have you come?
- What obstacles fight your progress?
- Do your shadows of anger, attachments, fear, ego, guilt, impatience, indecision or jealousy eclipse your inner Light?
Your second questions Do you lack know-how to still your flow of restless thoughts (without drugs), meditate, and dispel negative emotions - not by repression or expression, but by release? And your third questions: Is your meditative goal clear? Do you understand and love self, God, or the state of being you want to experience? Is your means of attainment clear? Do you meditate in the morning and then leave your meditation on your coat hanger?
These pages will bridge the chasm between your spiritual and secular life. They will help you to bring your meditation into the office, classroom, and supermarket. The author translates arcane secrets of self-transformation into kitchen language and breaks down one obstacle after another on your Path to Enlightenment.
From Part I - 'Getting Out of Your Own Way' (p.5):
" There is something dearer than wealth, dearer than family, dearer than life. That dearest something is your own Self, the Indweller of all beings. That all-pervading Essence is hidden in all names and forms like butter in milk and electricity in a wire. That inner Self whom the mind does not know but who knows the mind is your higher Self, Pure Consciousness. Attainment of That is called Self-Realisation. That is the goal of human birth. "
