5.0 out of 5 stars A fine book to help you stay in tune..., August 2, 2000

By A Customer

This book is one of a handful I keep on my nightstand. It's designed so that you can read an entry each day. Each day's entry presents a quote from one of several religious or philosophical traditions, and presents Easwaran's thoughts on that quote. It's a pleasant way to expose yourself to traditions you might not otherwise learn about, and also helps you to keep in daily touch with your spiritual goals. Easwaran's interpretations are insightful and down to earth.

My wife and I have had this book on our breakfast table, by the bed even on the back of the toilet for over 10 years. It still inspires us!
