5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book..., October 23, 2006

Swami Rama writes about a topic that very few have been truthful about - that there is a state of consciousness beyond the states that we are accustomed to. This 'fourth statte' as listed in the Upanishads, is called "Turiya" and may be achieved through the correct meditation practice.

The book's first half is a candid discussion of how and why one should seek the correct meditation practice. The second half of the book is a discussion of the relevant sections of the Upanishads. It is evident that Swami Rama had achieved the state of Turiya based upon his commentary.

There is little to say about this unique and exceptionnal book. I guess you could say its clarity, accessibility and generosity is exactly what makes it a dangerous book. Difficult to find but worth the effort and the price. Swami Rama gave us everything. How many among us are ready to know. Can we handle the truth?

Love to find the original book by swami Rama. all the new editions are too different.

Although the old ones are rare to find and too expensive they are still better and much more clear in their simplicity.

Find all the old copies bij swami Rama and read them over and over again. Maybe even consider to practice what is suggested in the method.
