For the Greatest Good : A Talk on the Meaning of Spiritual Life in Human Life [Audiobook] [Audio Cassette]

Andrew Cohen (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1997

What would it be like to care more for the greatest od of all than our own happiness, our own peace, even our own freedom? In this ground-breaking teaching, Andrew Cohen takes us on a journey as he redefines what the ultimate goal of the spiritual path actually is. While understanding enlightenment as the freedom from thought and feeling, Andrew describes how he has now come to understand that what is of far greater significance is coming to the end of a self-centered relationship to life. This radical transformation can only occur, he says, if we are willing to not rest anywhere along the spiritual path, but have the courage and passionate interest to keep going beyond the experience of joy, the experience of bliss, beyond the experience of personal happiness alone.

A compelling and beautiful description of the choiceless caring for the whole of life, this tape reveals the sacred potential of human evolution that is born when an individual finally discovers what is truly important -- a deep and abiding care for the greatest good.

About the Author

Andrew Cohen is not just a spiritual teacher -- he is an inspiring phenomenon. Since his awakening in 1986 he has only lived, breathed and spoken of one thing: the potential of total liberation from the bondage of ignorance, superstition and selfishness. Powerless to limit his unceasing investigation, he has looked at the "jewel of enlightenment" from every angle, and given birth to a teaching that is vast and subtle, yet incomparably direct and revolutionary in its impact. Through his public teachings, his books and his meetings with spiritual leaders of almost every tradition, he has tirelessly sought to convey his discovery that spiritual liberation's true significance is its potential to completely transform not only the individual, but the entire way that human beings, as a race, live together. In sharp contrast to the cynicism which is so pervasive today, yet with full awareness of the difficult challenges that we face, he has dared to teach and to show that it is indeed possible to bring heaven to earth. This powerful message of unity, openness and love has inspired many who have heard it to join together to prove its reality with their own lives, igniting an ever expanding international revolution of tremendous vitality and significance. Andrew travels extensively every year giving public talks and intensive retreats. Communities dedicated to living his teachings have formed throughout the world, with a network of centers in the United States, Europe, India and Australia. He is also the founder of the magazine What Is Enlightenment?
