Fantastic book to be kept alongside the spirituality classics like 'The Autobiography of a Yogi', Living with the Himalayan Masters, Apprenticed to a Himlayan Master, Journey Home , If Truth Be Told.
A meeting with a Himalyan Master who gave the young auther a beej mantra to meditate changed his life. Spiritual experiences related to the sixth sense mentioned by the author are unbelievable unless you slight background of the process of yogic sciences. The beauty of this book lies in the approach of a yoga-meditation-novice reading in the universities, taking on the civil services exam telling how meditation changed his inner psyche.
It a story of the spiritual quest of you and me going on with excitements and pitfalls in the mundane existence. The quote 'there are no accidents on the spiritual path' recurring often is so powerful authenticated by his life showing some saint miraculously appearing when the author faces some difficulty.
As an author, Priyabhishek Sharma's beauty lies in his ability to speak a language of a common individual. You feel so intimately connected with the narrative style that it feels as if it's the reader with whom all things are happening.
His message style in non direct with the reader gauging it from the story. The prescriptive and moralistic tone is avoided.
Moreover, some books give you knowledge, some hope and a reason to live life.
This book belongs to the second category.
A must read if you have read and enjoyed above mentioned books.
