How come the easterners hold this book in low regard compared to the west? I guess they know best when it comes to mysticism. I loved this book when it read it and it's a book I want to read again every year...

People are same everywhere. There are many eastern followers who choose not to comment. Sceptics and critics are bound to be present everywhere, even in the families of such people. This is the truth of life. A spiritual aspirant has to just ignore such people and get on with their work than trying to convince and answer them. What exactly triggers the awakening of an individual, no one can tell. Even these great Gurus depicted in this book cannot enlighten everybody.
True Mysticism is understood and practised by few, all over the world. Nevertheless, more and more people awaken as if in batches. In a flowering plant, do all buds blossom at the same time?(less)

Nature is the only book which is holding the answer for all our questions. Do read the book slowly, read one chapter daily and think about it on your free time(No need meditate). Then start think about yourself. This is more than enough to get a different view of your own life.(less)

What books should one read before reading this? I've read the first two chapters and I'm feeling a sense of disconnect - and I don't think I'll appreciate what this book has to offer. I especially found the miracles mentioned in the first two chapters ridiculous. So back to my original question - are there any pre-reads before one picks up this book?

Chandrahas Dayal Unless you experience a miracle, it is difficult to believe in a miracle. So wait for it. No amount of reading can really help one to accept something…moreUnless you experience a miracle, it is difficult to believe in a miracle. So wait for it. No amount of reading can really help one to accept something which is beyond the realm of laws of science. I gave up reading this book after reading 40-45 pages as “ beyond my understanding”.(less)
