Finished this book today and I would rate it 3/5. I have negated 2 points due to the unruly and disgusting filling of the author ruzbeh bharucha in the name of humour or light-heartedness to the heavy topic. If we decide to publish a spiritual book it doesn’t need words like “horseshit” or “don’t know what was god smoking”. However, this book taught be so many things on the spiritual level in the words of bapuji who was the main person who was interviewed to impart knowledge to the world. On one hand I wonder why bapuji is not so famous nationally or worldwide and on other hand it’s pretty obvious why because he doesn’t believe in commercialising knowledge and he keeps to himself. I need to revisit and keep re-reading few things in the book and it’s definitely a good read for spiritual genre lovers. Just please ignore ruzbeh’s blabber in between.
My discovery of this year would definitely be - Ruzbeh Bharucha's works. I like his style & the message he communicates for the simple purpose that it is light, interesting & magical. The claims/realities made in this book are truly jaw dropping, but sceptics beware. Perhaps, the reason behind the claims might have been the author's first hand experiences of mysticism. Having experienced my fair share of magic, where you are stunned & can't possibly explain how some coincidental event occurs and how probable it is for all purposes, I can very well trust his content.
this book took me a while to read, unlike the others, especially for its heavy duty content. but conversations with meher made sure the ruzbeh flavour wasn't completely lost. read it slow and reflect on it to soak it all.
