Excellent book

[Meghna · Rating 3 out of 5]

Sri Sri is a renowned Indian spiritual leader. This book is a collection of his spiritual philosophical talks about abstract feelings of human kind. It is written in an unadorned yet subtle manner to float with his ideas of philosophy. It begins with a small poem followed by 7 chapters.

It explains how to distinctify religion and spirituality, how to bang the complex and confused mind, how grace and gratitude correspond, how a speech can turn into sorrow or joy, how spiritually it is benefitted to be connected with God, how dispassion becomes part of true intimacy and how beautiful love is.

It is wonderful must read book to nourish one's mind and soul. It gives a feel of joy to earn something soulful. Sri Sri's description has proved that philosophy isnt complexity.

"True intimacy is recognizing the flow of the current and joyfully floating with it. The current is there. You don't have to stroke. You don't have to move your hands and feet. It carries you and you float. Effortlessly. Taking everything for granted is true intimacy".
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

[Sivaprasad Haridas · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'd say, it's a tiny book with a lot of possibilities. This is my first book of Sri Sri Ravishankar. And I didn't knew anything about him. But after reading this book, I like him a lot. He's not as I thought. His words are powerful. He's describing everything in the easiest way and anyone can read and understand this book very easily. Feeling great after reading this, really an eye opener. A must read one for all the readers who loves spirituality​.
