5.0 out of 5 stars A most profound and uplifting work., July 3, 1999

This review is from: From the Finite to the Infinite (Paperback)

This is an absolutely incredible book by a great yogic master. A must read for every seeker for the Truth. It is an indispensable roadmap for the often long and arduous journey to God-realization. Written in a stimulating question and answer format, it is a vast treasury of wisdom covering just about every aspect of this journey, including meditation, mantra, the mind, emotions, ego, Consciousness, the Guru, God, God-realization, Shakti-Kundalini, Shaktipat, and much, much more. The questions were raised by mostly Western seekers in different stages of spiritual development, from the beginner to the most advanced yogi who is on the verge of God-realization. They answered many of my own questions I've had for a long time, and as a result my meditation has immeasurably improved. And best of all, I now have the directions for the rest of my journey, complete with landmarks and warnings of hazardous conditions ahead! I am forever grateful to the author.

This review is from: From the Finite to the Infinite (Paperback)

This book is ecellent. It is formatted in the style of questions and answers. The answers are always illuminating and the topics covered range through some of the following
- Discovering the inner Guru and listening to its guidance
- Learning about Shaktipat (spiritual power awakening within)
- Questions about the inner and outer guru
- Expositions on different Mantras
and a whole range of other topics that are all useful to the spiritual seeker.

The answers given are often concise and given with wamth and love and this is what shines through in these pages.

If you are a beginner on the spiritual path or even if you have been walking it for years, you should add this book to your collection. It's a definite keeper and will provide you with much insight along your journey.
